Lidiane Jones (audio clip): So what we have been doing at Slack is giving all these capabilities so people can establish norms, but the tools alone are not going to solve it. Maybe I have to come visit you guys at WIRED, help with some processes, and share some of our best practices here in Slack.
Lauren Goode: Gideon, I'm gonna put you on the spot a little bit. What would be your ideal return-to-work situation for WIRED?
