Consider this - communication on its own is worthless if no time is left to do productive work. If communication was so important then slack/hipchat/etc shitposters would be your most productive employees and they usually aint

I had a manager who measured how much time everyone spent using slack and actually boasted that he was the person most active on slack as if that was some measure of productivity.
And I guarantee you that 90% of his posts on slack were cat gifs and the like. Most of the other 270% of his messages were automated notifications for build, deployment, and test failures that everybody ignored.
