Dropbox was where I first encountered the infantilization of the workplace, with animated emojis all over your biannual performance review. It was a shock, having come from a real company run by adults. Now everyone thinks this is normal, at least at companies that use Slack where 40% of the traffic is animated emojis.

Exactly how I felt working at Google with their “open concepts”. Thankfully I am back at the University of Washington in a cubicle now, away from the yuppy babies. God knows where people get these ridiculous ideas.
