A Cautionary Tale of Work Pranks

Everyone who has worked in a team will talk about harmless pranks until a full-blown prank. Most office hoaxes include hiding someone's chair, sticking a pencil on the table, or sticking coins on the floor. However, if the workplace is not an office and the tool is not a pencil, the workplace environment may soon become a dangerous playground.

A few days ago, I heard a warning story; some friends, we just forgot to shoot their brainstorming, drawing, interviews, prototypes and other parts of the process Whiteboard (shortest design media ) Said it was widely used.

Environment "In the cold equation", Marilyn noticed that there is no way to save her.

And now, a warning story. Working with an unstable dashboard system. Our license to the system is inadequate and the imported data is not reliable. We decided to use a different system. I talked with all the people affected and set expectations. One department manager decided to purchase his own system and manage half of company data. Everyone is dissatisfied with this result. Our platform is not just our dashboards and pipes. In data work, we often see models and systems we build as platforms. In software work, this is our application. In product work, product provision and marketing. These are interactive platforms for improving things. The important thing is that I noticed the place I met.
