Me: suggests some visual improvements for the web app (because it honestly looks and feels like it has been designed by a backend developer and they make the UI/UX guy design the screens AFTER they've been implemented in the code)

PMs & Management: Okay, let's put it to a vote and get the graphic designer's eye on it.

Me: ...

Is mildly offended lmao.

(I have a graphic design qualification and over 6 years working in web and print design agencies before getting into programming whereas the company's graphic designer knows almost nothing about web design, he's a print designer. Still sends massive gifs to use on the website and doesn't understand web pixel dimensions nor responsive web design principles. These people know my education and employment history btw)

    This is so typical and it amazes me how universal it seems to be. 😔

    Oh, the designer after building the app is very common for me but I make mainly fintech.

    > 'Okay, let's put it to a vote'

    Sucks, sure.

    Still better than being ignored or hearing 'We're !doing that.' outright.

    /* Unless, in reality, the 'vote' == 'fuck off' in which case I'd really prefer hearing a definitive 'no' than 'perhaps'. */
