I've noticed a trend at corporate offices where I get an email or Slack message from higher-ups with photos relating to their direct report's personal life. Like wedding photos, or photos of their newborn child that I guess my colleague had sent them. The manager actually broadcasts it to the whole department or company. For some reason it weirds me out, because I feel like these photos should be something special and personal to my colleague and not just passed around as part of “corporate culture”. I understand if there is a death in the family or someone is in the hospital, and management wants us to sign a card for them out of respect. But personal life updates to me seem really odd, especially when they send photos. Not sure if I'm just an asshole, or if anyone else find this type of stuff odd? It wouldn't even occur to me to whip out my phone and send a photo of my newborn… to my boss of all people! Or my wedding photos. Isn't that something that should be shared with your close ones?
