#general. I'd quite like to be able to mute almost all middle management.
Hearing people like 'head of people' or 'release manager' spout inspirational management quotes just makes me cynical and miserable.
I'm far happier with my job and probably also more productive without their input.
Urrgh. We don't have a general channel for exactly that reason. We have a channel for general chit-chat that is nothing to do with work but that's as close as it gets. Anything else work related goes into subject/team/project specific channels. We even have a shoutouts channel specifically for bigging up someone who has done a good job at something.
general channels are cancer in any communication system as far as I've experienced.
