So I’m a designer, you can extrapolate that from previous post so I’m just going to start with that: UX Researcher and Designer working primarily within the Double Diamond methodology. I don’t think I’m the best designer, but I have a good resume. If you use sleep aid apps, chances are you’ve at least tried one that I was a lead designer on.
Anyway, I was sought out by a massive company and it’s great. I feel very respected. They let me pick the project I wanted to start on and map out the timeline. It’s great, everyone’s cool as hell too. Fully remote too, which is incredible.
One thing that is so small, but irritating: so you know how on Skype, Zoom, and Teams you can USUALLY set it up the time for when your profile won’t go from available to away? HR has restricted that function on our laptops, so you’re stuck with going to “away” if you haven’t touched your laptop in 5 minutes. Everyone on my team is annoyed with it too and mentioned not to worry about it, but what the fuck? I’ve always met and even exceeded my deadlines and I can do that without being glued to my screen 9-5. Just a minor rant. Have a good evening, everyone
