      another exec shared his whole laptop screen and he had brietbart up in a tab + part of a bank statement I screenshot.

      Dunno which is worse, this or some middle manager dude I saw accidentally alt tabbing to 9gag that had the hentai page favourited, with a Putin video playing. On their work laptop and email. I feel for the IT department sometimes.

          It was a pre Corona in person presentation, most boomers didn't know wtf it was, but I took a picture quickly with my phone. Not uploading because I'm not going to doxx myself, but he definitely deserved whatever punishment he got for being an asshole techbro. (And before anyone asks, no I didn't snitch for the presentation)

        Good lord, how clueless are these people? Any time I know I'm going to be screen sharing something, I close all tabs not work-related before I even think about hitting that button.

        Also, much like the number one rule of gun safety is that every gun is loaded, every conference call is unmuted.

          Pretty much. Though you want believe the stuff some people do. I know people that use their work email for everything, and pirate shit on their work machines.

          years back, I spent a few months on the healthcare.gov project, after Accenture took it over, while they were "fixing" the site. in order to show their new user responsive development process, they made us all sit through a four hour presentation about the project, including user personas -- and I'm not sure a single one mapped to a human being that actually existed in the real world. it was dozens and dozens of profiles of hypothetical people for a website that barely anyone could actually use. it was incredible.

          I've made hundreds of useless persona reports, and they've always been vague composites of data used to make people think we are doing a)more than we really are b)something that maps on to a boomer's idea of a marketing company.

      user experience is theoretically a great discipline and should be used to help make technology more accesible in its affordances to people but as far as i can tell it's just turned into another subset of marketing/ad research for companies to eke out as much money from as many different people as possible. every user persona i ever created in my ux course was just me making shit up as i went along
