Other companies have successfully introduced homeless shelters into their office space; it's not necessarily a wild or bad idea. There's probably an important distinction to make here in that the trolly poll was (likely) disingenuous, which is the real issue wrt representing the company, rather than the contents itself.
- basisword 5y agoI think that even if the poll is genuine the issue is polling users of the product before you have spoken to your employees.
- 0xy 5y agoHow does this differ from UX research or polling, where companies regularly show users unreleased products or poll for ideas they have? What do the employees have to do with it? The company serves the shareholders, not employees.
- philistine 5y agoAll of what you’re describing is not done as political theatre by a board member with no direct power to enact what he’s polling. He’s basically doing the same thing as a terrible poll on a newspaper website and we’re supposed to be respectful of that?
