Communication across the company falls unacceptably short of expectation, either through rose-tinted glasses or blindfolds. People closer to the weeds are constantly being disrupted from their day-2-day duties, from the reckless migrations from essential tools and processes to bloated, counter-intuitive, generic alternatives. There's complete uncertainty of a company direction, with the rash replacement or removal of essential roles, or just failing to properly communicate layoffs, leaving everyone on edge following a regularly scheduled company meeting.
