Slack, the widely used business communication tool, experienced slowdowns in service on Tuesday, frustrating workers who have become increasingly dependent on it as they work from home. Users complained of slow messages or messages that were not sending starting around 8 a.m. Eastern. At round 9:48 a.m., Slack said it appeared that most of the problems had been fixed. “The performance issues we’ve been seeing should be mostly resolved, and there should no longer be any issues with messaging,” the company said in a statement. “Users should have no issues sending messages or connecting,” the company said.
