I feel like, sometimes, it's also the companies fault.

Designers can be overworked, especially in companies where there are many software projects and very few designers. Instead of having teams with their own resident designer you have one designer that is responsible for ALL the UX/mockups/wireframing of the web team, the mobile team, the this theam, the that team.

In addition to this you have PMs that sometimes propose features or changes to the development team without consulting with the designer at all.

Another thing is that it can be the management itself considering the work of the designers finished the moment they send the wireframe to the developer.

I'm sure there are bad designers out there and designers with lack of communication skills but my recent experience with designers is more of having empathy for them because they are insanely overworked.
