It’s only Monday and Slack is down

Productivity took a turn for the worse Monday when Slack went down.

Issues were first reported on the Slack page just before 11 a.m. ET. The official status page said there was an outage and the company was “looking into an issue.”

The company said “some workspaces might be experiencing issues with messages sending and loading.” At the Mashable office, Slack was completely down. 

Slack’s mobile app appeared to be working intermittently. 

On DownDetector, which is owned by Mashable parent company Ziff Davis, the outage was widespread through the U.S. and Europe, with the most reports coming from the Northeast and Texas areas. The UK was another hot spot. More than 1,000 reports had come in within 30 minutes of the outage. 

Of course, tweets started pouring in about the outage and inability to get anything done at work.

Happy Monday!
