Slack will pause normal business operations for one week on Monday because employees have fallen behind on internal training

"Beginning on Monday, Slack employees will be expected to set aside their regular work duties and to instead plug away at various modules on Salesforce’s Trailhead online learning platform, Fortune has learned."

Speaking from experience, doing 40 hours of Trailhead a week is not the most fun experience even if you would stick to the more technical Trails. 

However, there are some really good modules on the platform even though the article focuses (of course) on those that are not immediately useful to a developer. 
"4th Industrial Revolution" was the central Sales pitch  a while ago (before the dawn of "AI") and might be actually useful for an AE getting the right spin on their sales stuff.
