Workplace is very very very annoying to actually use, btw.

Workplace is basically "facebook, but in a corp"; but all the nags and annoying notifications that kind-of work in Facebook, because you can chose what pages and groups to follow, just flat out don't work there, because you have to follow certain group. And you keep getting these annoying notifications that you cannot easily filter.

So you still have one stream of notification, as on Facebook, which is both "funny pictures haha" and "important company-wide announcement". So bad!

Workplace Chat is just Messenger. And again, it sucks in corporate settings.

Workplace is really, really bad UX.

As a contrary opinion, I quite like workplace. I definitely feel that, for me, it provides a much more effective way of staying up to date on what's happening compared to mailing lists and such.

I don't understand how one stream of notifications is different from email - at least with workplace there's some ranking going on.

    With e-mail, you don't get an avalanche of "funny memes" pictures that some people tend to post to Workplace. (At least from my experience.)
