Nursing staff at a skilled nursing facility are overwhelmed by management's use of group chats and mass texts for after-hours performance corrections, creating anxiety and unpaid work expectations.

Existing communication tools (group chats, mass texts) lack boundaries for after-hours contact and do not provide structured, audit-ready channels for performance feedback, leading to employee burnout and unpaid labor.
