This is, in my experience, basically 90% of what working in a corporate environment is like.
There is one key problem that ensures this will never really be solved: Everyone is doing this to everyone else, so when this happens to me, inevitably I slip on info I promised to someone else for something different because I had to get sidetracked and go on an Information FetchQuest in MS Teams.
I live by the motto "if you want something done, do it yourself." The common adage has an extra word.
