- Many of us use Slack every day, and often wonder how work happened before its existence. So it was only a matter of time before someone thought to dress up as the app itself.
- Alex Engelberg, a tech worker from Seattle, made a Slack costume for Halloween and totally nailed it - even down to the snappy notification sound.
- Watch the video below with the sound on and enjoy.
Employees across the country Wednesday will go to work in costume, but perhaps no one is winning more than the guy who dressed up as the work chat app Slack.
Many of us use Slack every day (and often wonder how work happened before its existence), so it was only a matter of time before someone thought to dress up as its checkerboard app icon.
But I don't think anyone could have predicted just how closely that person would nail it - even down to the snappy notification sound that plagues quiet offices across the country.
Alex Engelberg, a tech worker from Seattle, tweeted a video of his Slack costume, and it's so creative, we had to share. Take a look for yourself and enjoy (just make sure you have the sound on):
People on Twitter seem to be enjoying the costume. Here are some of our favorite reactions so far:
Shortly after Engelberg posted his video, the people at Slack saw the costume and tweeted at him to show their appreciation:

POINT: Adults dressing in costumes for Halloween is the height of immature stupidity, and none of the costumes "I must see" are actually creative enough to change my mind.
COUNTERPOINT: This guy ππΎ https://t.co/3HN2Kg2SV3
