I know, right? That can only end one of two ways: HR gets pissed or nobody cares. There's no positives here. Your manager won't promote you because you posted something insightful or funny, they care about numbers and how much they like you in person.

So yeah, I really don't understand who that's for.

It has 2 good uses:

  1. Sharing knowledge without being limited to the boundaries of teams and departments.
  2. A social network around a topic (such as posting photos of your pets) that anyone in the organization can join.

  1. We have an internal company site for posting relevant info (e.g. HR docs, processes, etc), as well as email if there truly is something relevant to the entire company (that's incredibly rare)
  2. I honestly don't care that Betsy in Missouri has a dog if I live in Arizona; if I want to discuss things about a topic, I'll do it on real SM, not internal company SM

  1. I wasn't clear on this. It's more like, a community for keeping on top of a topic like LLM developments, or asking and answering questions concerning a software that's used in the organization. It can also concern processes, but where pooling answers throughout several teams works best. It's not a place for docs (that's SharePoint's role). An email isn't the good channel as the ensuing conversation would clutter everyone's mailbox.
  2. Some people like to chat with colleagues. It's also an opportunity for networking. Of course it's not mandatory, so if it's not interesting to you, just don't go on the communities that are "for fun".
