“Mainstream business, controlled by the mangement elite, have sought to reduce the phenomenal complexity of work culture into a simple, linear model, that can be controlled from the centre. The organizational systems they create are highly unstable and lacking in dynamism.”

Some UX designers say we can’t use the title “software designer” because that’s someone else’s job.
THATS WHY PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU DO.
Imagine telling the people paying you “I don’t design our app, I design the experience people have when they use the app.”

“Spend ten years in a big company and you basically see change as impossible. This makes sense. You start defending the status quo because that’s the high status behavior that gets rewarded at work.”
