Salesforce’s Slack to be shut off for a week

Salesforce-owned Slack will begin a week-long company-wide shutdown known as "Ranger Week" on Monday. During this time, employees are tasked with reaching the Ranger level on Salesforce's Trailhead online learning platform, which typically requires around 40 hours of learning. To help Salesforce's employees become more skilled, the project has been launched. 

 

The goal is for Slack’s employees to reach Trailhead’s Ranger level, a feat that requires roughly 40 hours on the learning platform, whose modules include topics like “Learn about the Fourth Industrial Revolution” and “Healthy Eating.” 

 

A large percent of Slack’s roughly 3,000 staff have neglected to hit the target, according to sources inside the company. And since Salesforce provides Trailhead to other businesses as a way to “upskill” employees, some speculate that the slackers at Slack make for bad optics. 

 

In a message to employees in mid-September, Slack CEO Lidiane Jones wrote that the one week shutdown, dubbed “Ranger Week,” is intended to give everyone “dedicated time to make a lot of progress towards the goal.” 

 

Jones wrote in her message that the product development engineering (PDE), customer experience (CE), Biz Ops, and communication departments are expected to participate in Ranger Week. “It's important that we all reach Ranger status this year, and I want to ensure that everyone has focus time to upskill on Trailhead,” Jones wrote in the message to staff. “I know this will disrupt and slow V2MOM progress for many of us - we are making this a priority now so we can quickly get back to work on our roadmaps,” she said, referring to the company’s annual forward-looking strategy planning document which stands for vision, values, methods, obstacles, and measures.
