My company used Lotus which they switched to Outlook about a year after I started, with Skype as our instant messenger. Few years later they moved to the full office suite and made Teams our instant messenger but later announced they'd be keeping Skype as well. Now I have two lovely instant messenger systems to contact/respond to people I don't want to talk to :)

A job I worked had a pretty large amount of Russian and Vietnamese speakers so they would of course speak to each other in their language. I'm assuming someone complained, who most likely didn't work in their department and one of our managers sent out an email basically saying you can't talk in your native tongue because it makes others feel left out. This is one of the largest companies that prides itself as being 100% tolerant, diverse, and inclusive and the manager is a minority person. Honestly shocked it didn't go to HR or result in some kind of lawsuit
