If you work remotely and are looking to start your workday off on the east coast, you may run into some issues. Slack is down, with a massive spike in outage reports beginning around 9:25 AM ET on February 22, 2022. Due to the outage, hybrid and remote workers may not be able to communicate. Additionally, office jokes about today being “Twosday” (2/2/22 or 22/2/22 depending on your region) will have to wait or be sent through email, Microsoft Teams, or another service.
In under an hour, over 10,000 outage reports have been sent to DownDetector. That number continues to rise quickly. The Slack Status Twitter account replied to an outage report this morning.
If you try to log in to Slack, you’ll see a page that reads, “something’s gone awry, and we’re having trouble loading your workspace.” The same page claims that a restart of Slack may help, but that is likely generic advice for any time that the service fails to load.
Slack’s status appears to vary between devices. Some members of our team are able to connect to Slack at the moment while others cannot.
This is an ongoing story, and we will update it as more information becomes available.
