I'm back in a team setting again - we've got face-to-face, Slack, Teams / email, and Gitlab as communcations channels (too many different ones for my liking), and I'm already noticing how everything important seems to have to be repeated 2-3 times; there's the informal one to one, there's stand-up and other meetings, and then usually someone isn't around due to holidays or working part-time and they have to be caught up first.

If these things were written down there might be less of them. Might. It might just be part and parcel of working in a more enterprisey setting again.

I once joined a team and in my first face to face meeting the person who was the technical leader was upset in a meeting that “people are still doing this process wrong”.

Being new-ish I felt like I could ask the obvious question.

“Where do we find this process?”

Leader: “Oh don’t worry, I’m not blaming you. I sent out the process in email before you joined.”

“I joined nine months ago.”

Leader: “Yup.”

In the end this person was actually pretty great to work with but man having a ton of wonky communication methods and etc just constantly causes problems.
