> work-related topics can count as work time whereas the private ones doesn’t

All of these people are salaried, why does it matter?



What do you mean? Your employment contract says you need to work n hours per week. Private activities obviously don’t count as work.


I think building rapport with your team counts as work.


Depending on how much time you spend “building rapport”, HR might disagree.

My point is that channels should be set up such that it’s well-defined whether they are work-related or not.


I have never once had a contract that said I’m expected to work n hours a week.

In fact it is just the opposite, salaried employees are paid the same no matter how many hours worked.
