I think there is a constructive string worth pursuing here. Many many many designers (ux, ixd, ai, whatever) operate within large organizations, and many do it with a chip on their shoulder. And while counter productive, to some extent, when no one in that organization is listening, who can blame them. Design is across the board deserving of respect beyond tactical execution. Design as a strategy, and design as a profession are under utilized in large organizations.
For the responder, he merely picked the wrong venue for his venting and exposition. A public blog has enormous SEO potential that is bound to attract the attention of corporate PR watchdogs. Unfortunately this venue has much the same visibility. I have been (personally) criticized for exposing too much in a relatively frank discussion of conditions very similar to this one. I would like to think there this could be a place share those frustrations and a resource for finding ways to deal with these problems. But this is the interweb... and everyone can come in the door. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
