| Experience couldn't be more different for us. We also use the "Faceplace" as it has become "affectionately" known. Everyone just turns off the notifications on the freaking thing, so really important things are still sent out via email. It's corporate/business thing, right? And yet they kept the useless alrgorithmic feed. Just yesterday I couldn't find an important management post because it was buried below random crap from a dozen or so groups, and people, and events, and... Well, it also sends email for some (not all) notifications. The email preview contains a total of 6 words from the original text and forces you to go to the crap. Every single post including the really important ones are five lines of text with a "see more" link. Oh, and half of those texts are created as documents/notes (which are different from regular posts), reposted to half a dozen different groups that all show up in your timeline (nothing like seeing the same text 10 times I guess). And it continuously nags you to get their crap good-for-nothing Chat App (just look at the f*ing thing https://grumpy.website/post/0PSSXS3k8). Facebook cannot even imagine that business needs of business clients are not driven by engagement numbers, or by MAUs, or by LTVs or by any metric that is relevant to Facebook.

You need to use it properly though. The feed is pretty much useless. Groups are where it’s at. Facebook has Company FYI groups, org-level FYI groups, Product team workspaces, etc. You tune notifications to catch the “must read” stuff and filter out the rest of the noise.
