I feel it's best to let folks use what they prefer. While having a standard way of sharing information. Fighting with tools you're unfamiliar while trying to get work done with is a hidden cost on productivity. Example, at our off

I find it amusing that people purposely move into dense urban cities, then complain about all the noise. Like what did you expect? It's endless random fragments of new sounds. People have different tolerances for what is "annoying
