The One with the Office Tea

from The Theory of David

Modern tech offices have a playbook: four kinds of plant milk, a ping pong table nobody uses, Fun Fridays, and a mug that says "You belong here." But when you design for everyone in the abstract, you end up designing for no one in particular. This episode is about the gap between good intentions and actual inclusion, and why there are never any teacups. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
