Absolutely. For some crazy-ass reason my job transitioned away from Teams (I get it) and Slack and to Discord.

Discord is garbage for this type of work environment. Maybe it works for some? But it just doesn't make sense.

lmao.
Discord is surely very good for work-related trade secrets

My company has been using Discord for work and at first I was excited to try it (coming from Slack companies), but I had to realize that it’s very unfit for work. The only thing that’s better is the visibility of threads. We are moving to Slack now, thankfully.

I used Discord for work and it was great for voice channels. We used slack for channels where we needed to share text and images, worked quite well. Main problem was that many people at the company were not really from the internet in the sense that they had no Discord etiquette whatsoever.
