"I often receive project updates through different channels - sometimes on Slack, sometimes via email, and sometimes in Monday.com. It's hard to keep track of what's current. Plus, our Hanoi team uses Vietnamese in some communications, which our international team members can't understand. Last month, I missed an important deadline because the update was only posted in email, which I rarely check." - Anonymous Developer

"As a project manager, I find it challenging to ensure all team members are on the same page. Some prefer Slack for quick updates, others only check email. There's no standardized protocol for which tool to use when. For instance, two of my team members missed the initial project kickoff meeting because the Zoom link was only sent through Slack." - Senior Project Manager

"We've received multiple complaints about communication issues. New employees especially struggle with knowing where to find information. Our onboarding documents about communication protocols are outdated, and each department seems to have its own way of doing things. A recent hire in the marketing team expressed frustration about not being informed of team meetings, as they were communicated via SharePoint posts, which they were not aware of." - HR Director
