- Perhaps user interface should be done by companies of their own, which hire designers and sell their services and expertise to other companies who need a UI. Then they could just serve new clients, instead of having to invent new UIs all the time like an in-house designer.by carlosjobim
- The person responsible for UI/UX changes is the product manager, the designer does what he's told to do. So maybe fire the PM?by owebmaster
- not sure if UX people changing the UI is the problem or companies treating visible change as evidence for promotion & all.by vedas-dixit
- If you control the company, then you can easily stop this by making the product manager the one who can request a UX change, not the UX team.
If you are an employee, a frontend dev, for example, then you can't change it as much as you want, other than raising it with your superiors; maybe, as an EM, you can have a chat with the director/VP/CTO about it.
Generally, for an employee, it's more work, which is not bad; it means you are safer in your job (if it's Enterprise). Just ask them to use official ways to request a UI change, such as a Linear/Jira ticket.
