Those are process failures. People need to be responsible on some electronic communication medium and if they can't do that then they have to be fired.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. If the org has a clear goal and is organized enough, this sort of work can easily be distributed asynchronously.

I don't disagree but I've been dealing with it for years now (since COVID) and nobody has seemed to be able to fix it.

Sure. Management stupidity and employee incompetence certainly wasn't a thing before COVID! I really like this new comic from Scott Adams called Dilbert [1] that gets a good laugh from how incompetent things have gotten since COVID! /s

I'm not sure why you think what you said is relevant. Also, you seem insufferable.

Edit: oh, it's probably the autism.

I'm not sure how you missed OP's joke, and then decided the proper course of action was to insult them rather than refuting them.

Let me guess, you're autistic too?

Nope, just insufferable (apparently).

Mostly just shocked that this is what the site comes to, but I should have known better.

Understandable.

Yeah, I'm a dick online, it's an outlet. No hard feelings.

problems change, and some problems get worse while others get better. No need to be snide, it's honestly a thing to consider when talking about these situations.
