They had Workplace, which was a fantastic product that got shelved externally when they couldn't get a big payout early in the project.

It was the perfect Slack replacement for companies with over ~1000 employees, and I wish my current company was using it.

I worked for a company that had both Slack and Workplace and... Workplace wasn't a Slack replacement at all? It felt like a separate instance of Facebook for our company. How would it act like a Slack replacement?

WP Chats could be vaguely similar to Slack -- there can be chats associated with a group, which is sort of like Slack named channels. But I agree it's not a perfect replacement.
