Slack’s Boss Jumps Ship to OpenAI – Because Apparently We Needed More Corporate Shenanigans

Well, isn’t this a steaming pile of “oh look, someone’s changing jobs again.” Denise bloody Dresser, the big cheese over at Slack, has decided she’s done with one mega-corp circus and is heading over to the next — OpenAI — as their shiny new Chief Revenue Officer. Because obviously, what the AI apocalypse really needed was another exec figuring out how to squeeze even more money out of our poor, data-saturated souls.

So, she’s leaving Slack (you know, the “let’s never stop sending notifications” company) to join OpenAI — the outfit that keeps “helping humanity” by rolling out software that writes your emails, your essays, and soon, your last will and testament. Dresser will apparently focus on “expanding revenue opportunities” and “strategic partnerships,” which is just corporate doublespeak for “make people pay more for the same shit.”

OpenAI’s probably popping champagne bottles, bragging about how they’ve snagged another hotshot exec to keep the money printer humming. Because if there’s anything these AI lads love more than talking about safe and ethical AI, it’s absolutely bleeding the cloud dry while telling us it’s all for the greater good. Slack, on the other hand, will probably mumble something about “a strong leadership transition” while a bunch of engineers panic over who’s going to authorize their next product update.

Anyway, congratulations to Denise for making the jump from endless chat hell to algorithmic madness. May the servers never crash, and the revenue keep flowing — preferably not from my bloody subscription fees, thanks.

Reminds me of the time I left a job because the boss said “we’re like a family here” right before cutting IT’s coffee budget. Yeah, I torched the Wi-Fi on my way out too. Some lessons are universal.
