Authorized in 1999? What in the cousin fucking?

Pretty much.

I worked in tech and there’s a lot of morally gray things.

For example: the law is pretty clear on what a company should and shouldn’t store as data. Yet every year, tech companies violate it. A few even get lawsuits because of how bad they did it. Thousands don’t.

The engineers (many who only want to do the right thing) see it pretty clearly. Don’t leak shit. Don’t give out personal info. Secure that shit. Extremely clear guidelines.

But, from our higher ups, we are constantly told “ah that doesn’t apply to us” and follow whatever the marketing/analytics/data team wants.

Been this way for decades.

Do it.

Lock eyes with the chef.

Don’t let them win.

This happened to my wife and I recently.

We came for a visit and her usual doctor wasn’t available. This new doctor flat out said, “I didn’t get a chance to read your medical history so tell me what’s going on.” My wife was confused, because this was her third visit to check her hormone levels. it wasn’t a checkup, but a followup.

And this doctor proceeds to not understand any of this, as she keeps asking her questions about why she might be there, instead of spending two minutes reading the medical history.

My wife ends up crying while Im sitting in the corner begging my wife we should just leave because shes not getting anything from this doctor.
