I had to fight our HR manager over access to @here and it's equivalent.
Global company, people working all sorts of schedules and they want to use @here in the primary channel (which you can't mute) to send inane bullshit about unimportant stuff. (In theory @here only sends notifications when you are 'here', but I found it to be less than reliable)
The first few times people did it, I asked them not to, and then turned it off for non-admins. Thus the fight with HR.
