Lack of clear goals from the management. Too many meetings, especially the recurring ones. Domination of spoken culture instead of written for collaboration. Lack of proper sleep and rest. Working outside of your normal brain activity hours. Sudden fire drills - "unforeseen" audit with deadline next Tuesday, a security vulnerability mentioned in TV and you needing to redeploy/upgrade everything ASAP.

A trick from my PhD days: start the day with one to two hours of concentrated work. Don't look at your email or news or anything until you've done that. This worked fabulously for me because it allowed me to "swap in" my work enough that I could avoid distractions. And yes, I have ADHD.
Really made me laugh.

Meetings not degrading and wasteful enough? Make your employees also fill out a questionnaire and affidavit of a written summary of their potentially nuanced words to really move that morale needle!
I feel like Slack is 80% of the problem. Honestly I'd like to get rid of it at our company, and just have everything come down/go back up through my manager. I realise some of you probably have never experienced this.
