SAN FRANCISCO: Slack has apologized for Hummus Day activity that apparently offended some users.
In an Easter egg, work productivity platform allows users to change their notifications to a woman saying the word hummus, in reference to the Middle Eastern chickpea snack dip. And often on National Hummus Day, the company references the quirk on social media.
TIL: You can change your slack notification from the knock sound to a British woman saying Hummus.
As of Wednesday, plans appeared to be proceeding as usual for this year’s Hummus Day.
What can we say? We really like hummus. Slack (@SlackHQ) May 12, 2021
