Moustache-twirler A: We've identified these metrics that correlate with increased shareholder value Moustache-twirler B: But what do those metrics say about user privacy? (both laugh. This is very funny) MT A: no but really, fire any PMs that don't make these go up and let the survivors figure out why MT B: sounds great. See you at golf this weekend (some time later, in a less fancy conference room) Engineer: This new feature is great, but could be construed as an invasion of privacy. Can we make it opt-in? PM (panicking): Oh good heavens, no! Also send the opt-out button to the UX team, that way it doesn't come down on us.
