Or your "product owner" doesn't really know the product and happens to be in a minimal-overlap timezone, and walking to the other side of the local office to ask Real-Users for feedback eventually generates a subtle reprimand about going through proper channels...

One of the red flags I started to notice was where the client liaison had only been working there for a couple of weeks or months.
