**Slack Faces Major Outage**

Slack, the popular messaging platform for workplaces, encountered a notable outage on Wednesday, which hindered numerous users from utilizing the service.

Multiple staff members at *Mashable*, including this writer, faced server error notifications while trying to access Slack on their desktops.

The interruption seemed to affect a large number of users. Slack’s [official status page](https://slack-status.com/) indicated problems with messaging, connectivity, and additional features. Furthermore, [Down Detector](https://downdetector.com/status/slack/) noted a sudden spike in outage reports starting around 10:10 a.m. ET. (*Note: Down Detector is operated by the same parent company as Mashable.*)

Users hurriedly took to social media to share their thoughts on the outage:

– “Slack is down; work is off,” one user humorously remarked.
– “Slack is not working. What a gift to everyone,” another joked.
– “A Slack outage means we all get to step outside,” pointed out someone else.

Currently, it is uncertain when Slack will be completely functional once more.
