Is it capitalism that causes every website to roll out a new interface every few months, or is that because of something else? I use my bank's website exactly once per month (to pay bills), and it's different every time.

Uh, it's called "innovating". Guess you wouldn't understand.

My guess is it's to confuse people into not paying a bill that they can then charge fees against :nsa:

I hate how every food app is like that too. I use a given one maybe about twice in a month. Sure enough the next time I go to use the UI is flipped around and I'm logged out and my password manager didn't catch it, so now I have to do the email reset dance.

Large businesses stand lockstep against the possibility of rising wages. Like the fabled phalanx, shields held interlocked with their brother businesses, spears ready to fell any who want to live a better life

But c-leeches do love spending $texas on consultants, so yeah you get a new ux and pos every few months

There's lots of reasons places do that. One being that the designers got bored and need something to do so they can justify their jobs

Management given you no tasks and you need to look busy? Time for a "UI refresh"

A few jobs ago we did a "redesign" where I just made some headlines and thumbnail images a little bigger and management wouldn't stop talking about how good it was for 3 months. It was probably the easiest task I was assigned all year :shrug:. Sometimes the people in power at companies care about very arbitrary things

I’m constantly in meetings that are derailed by simple design decisions because the business units* have nothing better to do than nitpick about a shade of blue or how tall something should be. why do we employ designers if we aren’t going to let them design.

*I have 7 different business units that never talk to each other

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Does anything violate NLRB rules at this point? That's a serious question as gutting labor rights has been a bipartisan exercise for over forty years now.

I don't think they're referring to their employees as property here, but... I mean... hm...
