This has always bothered me because I'm already not getting paid when I'm sick, and now you want me to pay for a doctor's appointment, and not only that, but a last minute one? That means immediate care, which means an even bigger bill. You want a note? Pay for it.

We agree on a lot of things! Doctors don't like to be cops for your employers, either. And we don't have crystal balls to magically predict the date you'll get better, even though your employers think that. And we don't like making kids (and their employed parents) come in at the height of the cold and flu season to sit in a waiting room with newly sick kids, to get a note saying they are all better and can come back to school. It's also galling to write notes to school telling them "Johnny can't read" and asking for services, when the teacher and the parent are already totally aware of that, and what should happen instead is that schools (15k per student per year) should be better funded than prisons (30K per inmate per year).

Dr's notes are hard to come by right now. If you have any covid syptoms(which match a ton of other illnesses) Dr's and hospitals want you to stay home. I think I have the only Dr that will phone a work place and talk to the boss. Also many Dr's charge stupid money for any notes needed.

    Outlier here: I actually enjoy my team and get a lot out of going into the office. Working from home makes me anxious; I never feel connected enough, and feel judged for not "getting enough done". I also live close enough to bike to work, so I get less cardio at home. I prefer the office 100%.

    Cons. Having no life no time. No breaks and still missing family events \bdays because working from home steals ur entire day. U can only live on their "very flexiblex schedule like ure in prison. 15 min break every 2 hrs & when ure pregnant u still need a mote from ur dr which is great for ur anxiety\bipolar to have to call to get that drive down go thru the stupid pandemic check set up, get on the elevator hope to find the right floor, pray someone babysits or drag ur kids in w u all to grab a piece of paper to email to ur "boss" & need a sitter all day long so u can work from home to be w ur family. Very convenient i suggest it to anyone! Also, have a room away from ur kids specifically designed for your work....

    Cons: Displacing space you previously used for hobbies and doing things like managing finances and family endeavors; eliminating the separation of work/life to where there's nothing to balance- it's all blended together so now you have no escape.; Deteriorating body language and people skills. These may not apply to people making enough to build out a separate office at home and afford going out every day/night. Or I guess people that just need to peck out emails and chat on slack.

    To find out more about the struggles of this profession and how bad design can lead to unfortunate results, we managed to get in touch with Jonathan Shariat, a designer with more than 10 years of experience in the field and co-author of Tragic Design: The Impact of Bad Product Design and How to Fix It.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    He told us that when a design "harms people physically, angers them, excludes people, or causes injustice", it is regarded as terrible. "Design is the decisions made about how someone will use and experience the things we make, sometimes we fail to think through the implications of those decisions and it ends up causing harm to others," he added. 

    We also reached out to Nick Babich, a product designer and a blogger, who also had a few thoughts to add. He mentioned that lack of communication and creativity are also the root causes of why some designs end up looking bad. "Lack of communication leads to bad product design decisions, while lack of creativity leads to poor aesthetics." While dozens of new products are released daily, he assured that "not all of them are created by experienced product teams."

    I hoped the replies were being j/k or /SARCASM but I think they are serious. Who are these Boomers you are talking about, your parents? I’m a Boomer, born in 1960, and I’ve interviewed over and over for jobs (ages 16-50) using the same gf information we all see and research. Trends in interviewing and job searches change and everybody adapts. What horrible assumptions you make; that we’d cry or freak out at something many of us still have to do? Who are these adults who have had the same jobs for 30 years? And my friends w adult children wouldn't give the advice you’re laughing about. The f?!?

    I think the difference here is that the jobs that pretty much anyone can get, lowest ranking factory worker, cleaners etc. do pay so little today compared to expenses that you can barely afford living. Now you applying to some job means you bring with you 40 years of experience and the salary you would get would probably be double/triple than what some fresh 18 year old would get. And I dont in anyway blame you, the world is just different.. my dad could buy house and provide for my mother and 3 of us children by his own without degree or any special high paying job. I with a degree can afford most things and could afford similar house (might take bit longer to pay the mortgage tho) my parents have but I couldnt solely with my salary also provide for 4 other people.

    Or maybe how quickly they go online to get updated job hunting info, which is readily available. But they’ve probably already done that because no particular age group is uniformly stupid or uneducated. But go ahead and project weird stuff on older people, you clearly are superior and will remain that way until you perish.

    Nope, we graduate college and expect to make a decent wage that pays our bills. $30k per year with a college degree that was paid for with student loans doesn't do that. $50k does, which isn't a lot to ask considering the average wage overall is $40k.

    I'm not even a Boomer (Gen X), but I'd like to see a time-traveling reality TV show where older generations are entertained by younger generations as they try to survive without smart phones, internet, or their bail-them-out-financially, indulgent parents' support. If generalizations are to be believed, I'm pretty sure it's anybody born post 1980 that would be crying like a whiny baby because they couldn't get a job. Generalizations aside, I've run into my fair share of low-threshold-for-stress-lack-of-perseverance youngsters, who can't figure anything out if they can't Google it, or don't have access to wifi. Heaven forbid they find themselves inconvenienced, or have their entitled demands left unanswered in any way at all. The only blame I shift on Boomers is due to the fact that they're responsible for raising these whiners.

    This explains why sometimes it can start to feel like poorly designed products are all around us. Shariat said that one reason behind it is that good design isn’t easy. If people want to create something that has a purpose and is delightful to interact with, it takes a lot of learning and experience in the field. "Good design requires us to think about and understand others," Shariat explained. "That doesn't come naturally for most of us but always makes things better." 

    So when professionals fail to do that, certain choices they make can seriously affect other people. When a product has flaws, "the negative impact can be pretty severe," Babich told us. "Just imagine a medical device (i.e., heart rate monitor) that shows incorrect data about the user’s health (i.e., shows a status "Everything is okay" while the user experiences problems with his health)." The outcome can be rather dramatic.

    I don't think it's an unreasonable question, especially if the gap is recent. The level of detail required to answer it might be unreasonable. I might not word it as bluntly as that, but I would be prepared to ask that question, not because I care that the person was not working, but because I don't want to be hiring for the same position again in a few months time. I wouldn't expect the applicant to share intimate details with me. I have an hour to assess someone for a role, I have no evidence of what they are actually like as an employee, or how they will perform, the only thing I can look at is what they have put on their CV.

    A Gap is no evidencie the person is unreliable. If they got in and out an job in little time then it's evidence but just a gap isn't.

    You could always say volunteer work, then invite the interviewer to ask you more about your work experience. After all, you were doing something during that time, and you definitely weren't getting paid.

    They need to know if you're market ready. The world is ever changing and if it's been a while since you gained your most recent qualification, there's a chance you might have fallen behind. It's a risk most companies aren't willing to face. If you're stuck in a rut, attend some free online courses and write it on your CV so your future employer knows you've kept up.

    ...why do you think you're at the job interview though? They're trying to find out *why* you took time off. Having a sabbatical is a perfectly fine reason, they just want to know.

    I like that -- "I was fortunate enough to be able to take a sabbatical." "A loved one had some health issues that have thankfully passed and I was caring for them." The loves one can be you and the health issues can be mental health (depression, burnout, etc).

    I've had to answer that question before and I always give the same answer. 1 this is irrelevant to the interview. 2 if they persist I go into the long drawn out explanation of how my dad had cancer, killed himself and I was homeless. I then offer, do you need a diversity higher I'm also mixed race! This is how I weed out bad employers by the way.

    But it is relevant to the interview, especially if you had a lot of gaps. Of course, this is pre-Covid. They need to know if you will be working at the company a year from now. The hiring and onboarding process/training is expensive. That's how company's weed out bad applicants, by the way.

    Aaaaand this chart immediately highlights a problem with this mindset: according to the chart any unsolicited explanation is categorized as, at best, "probably mansplaining." Let that sink in for a moment. Explaining to a new hire how to submit timesheets before they ask? Probably mansplaining. Clarifying terms in a specific context for an academic discussion? Probably mansplaining. Providing additional context for an ongoing situation which the listener was unaware of? Probably mansplaining. Sometimes, stopping every 30 secs to ask if someone needs something explained to them is the MORE pedantic option, not less.

    I would like to point out that mansplaining is not explicitly sexist behavior. It's very common for guys to assume the role of the expert or leader and start dishing out advice to ANYONE who doesn't shut them up immediately. Two common examples are the 'armchair quarterbacks' and umarell. Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umarell

    Shariat also provided a few examples of how bad design can impact our lives. "A confusing control in your car could distract you and cause an accident. Hospital staff could accidentally enter into a pump 10x the medication for a patient. A confusing voting system can cause people's votes to be thrown out or worse, vote for the wrong person." 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "We rely on design every day for critical things, and sometimes they fail us and people get hurt, or it causes major financial damage," he said. But when it comes to design ethics, being concerned about them "isn't just about avoiding harming others," Shariat added. "Ethical design has also been shown to be much more effective and builds long-term, sustainable business growth!"

    This isn't an architectural design. It is a repaired fort or castle. Many such buildings were damaged by war, & rebuilt. I don't know where this picture was taken, but my parents took me to Germany in the 80s & all of the old town & churches were repaired with modern materials such as cinder blocks. They don't tear down their ruins. Also, many of my German relatives hate old buildings & restrictions placed on exterior colors. In the more historical areas they must fit in with the landscape; earth tones. It's possible they don't have such restrictions & went for it. The newer buildings there & in personal homes, much of the furniture & design is modern. Would you like one of your own? You can own an old historical building such as this in Germany as well, some on the Mosel river. ALL you have to do is sign a contract agreeing keep it up, & update it with plumbing & electricity. I'd think more rich people would do something like that, but that's just me.

    When it comes to the struggles of being a UI/UX designer, one of the biggest challenges is "seeing things from other people's perspectives. Different people can experience the same thing much differently," he added. "It's the job of a designer to understand their users and find what works best for all of them."

    Meanwhile, Nick Babich believes constant learning is both a blessing and a curse of product design. "You have to process a lot of information on a daily basis to create a good design," he told Bored Panda.

    When we're dealing with such struggles, memes are a great way to find shelter from the burdens of our everyday lives. They help us unwind, connect with other people, and, of course, let out a laugh or two. Jonathan Shariat admitted that jokes absolutely help to get into a better mood. "For example, when I was stressed about how frustrating it can be to see your design fail as you watch people test it out and your assumptions become evident, it can feel [difficult]. When you see something that perfectly expresses how you are feeling, it's very therapeutic," he said.

    I've read a lot of reasons why companies do this -- in the U.S. many companies put ludicrous requirements in the employment ads because they don't want to hire anyone but want to tell their employees they are -- or they only want to get less expensive immigrants so they don't want any domestic employees to apply anyway, but have to justify why they're asking for the visas (no one local will apply for our jobs! Because they're lazy and hate working for a living!!). Another source of this is some people relying solely on their HR teams to look for new hires and not giving them any detailed guidance on what to actually look for so the HR people just make something up.

    So, doing the math, if you get no days off, 80 hours in one week comes out to roughly 11.5 hours per day. Assuming two days off, that's 16 hours a day. That means there's 8 hours left during those working days to do anything else. So those people working 16 hour days are likely sleep deprived during their working days, neglecting their friends and / or family, and unable to complete things around the house. They're probably eating a lot of convenience food because they don't have the time or energy to actually cook anything during the week. Regardless of whether that time is spent in an office or in transit.

    And Babich also agrees with this line of thinking. He mentioned that he recently researched anxiety and depression in product design, and found that it’s a serious problem in the field. "I think humor is an integral part of our lives, and we need to smile more when we work," he added. "A positive mood gives us an energy boost, protects us from anxiety, and helps us create good UX." 

    So it’s not surprising that category-specific meme accounts are becoming more and more popular. Such images and jokes are the perfect "bites" of content that always allow us to distract ourselves from our troubles. After all, there’s nothing like looking at a few hilarious pictures to improve our mood.

    I'm a court reporter and was told in school by my teachers to never go back and look at old transcripts again after you finish them. I had a copy order come in for a transcript I'd produced years before and made the mistake of looking through it. 😬 They were minor things that only I would notice but I wanted to fix them so bad!

    Right. Whoever made the final decision here was most likely making a decision between "rip out part of the wall and what's behind it to rearrange the waste pipe, then clean up and re-tile, *then* install the toilet - cost: lots of extra money and resources" and "just align the toilet in accordance with the waste pipe - cost: some extra length of pipe and the fact that the toilet alignment looks weird".

A related term is UI design : User Interface design, it's designing the screens / forms / pages themselves.

    Bless the designer at my husband’s company, he’s talented and smart but sometimes his vision gets ahead of what is possible for a startup team on a startup timetable. He’d be like,” I think we should put the sink here, this is where is would look best and be easy for users to get to. “ Followed by my dev husband being like, “I mean, we COULD, it would look nice, but you’d end up with this.” Followed by probably an explanation of why they don’t have time to movethe outlet.

    Being good at designing something doesn't mean you're good at organizing or keeping track of information or communicating or delegating tasks or all the millions of other things that come with projects that aren't the actual project itself. Project managers do all that for you!

    Exactly. Some people are better at the art side but struggle with organization, emails, communication, etc. Project managers ensure the client receives the type of communication they expect while keeping the artsy people on track. We need both for a successful agency. To Hannah, obviously these designers I'm speaking of can handle basic organization and communication. I mean, they're not all mute idiots. They're just not the best at those skills so why not have two employees who do their tasks extremely well instead of one employee who falters on one side but is excellent on the other?

    I think I understand what's happening here—I think??? I'm pretty sure that's a giant f*cking pencil sharpener with a cucumber in it and this lady put the sharpened cucumber scraps on her face and is now eating the sharpened cucumber.... it leaves me with more questions than it answers

    Only names developers.. yeah right. I have been in the situation several times where the CEO has named all the designers, and the freelancer by name and skipped me and the other devs.

    How about no gradient at all. Just present the information in a clear, concise and properly formatted manner. Buttons should be buttons and text boxes should be text boxes, ill-defined white squares really aren't obvious or helpful to anyone. I would prefer entirely different UX for desktop and mobile platforms. Instead of something that looks good on a small screen and is optimized for touch, and something that looks good on a large one and is optimized for mouse and keyboard we have one single thing that sucks everywhere.
