Now, without telling you what company I work for, I will say that we are involved in research. That's enough to get my point across. I'm sure if you wanted to, this post would give you enough information to find out. I'm just not going to broadcast it, because I don't know what the rules are about this kind of thing, and I like my job. :)
So I go to the homepage, and I see THIS staring back at me:

It contains the tagline "Passion & Data."
UH, WHAT?
Seriously? It looks like a still from the opening scene of a soft-core porn! Hellooooo naughty librarian! Passion & Data. Whoo!
She's giving us this seductive look and they want us to believe that she's looking that way because of data? "There is so much data in these big books I'm carrying I can hardly control myself! Give me a hand with this issue tool, big boy!"
I could hardly believe my eyes, so I started asking my co-workers what they thought about it. Here are some of the responses I got:
"It's Debbie Does Data Management!"
"I want to transfer, what department is SHE in?"
Basically, this office is female dominated. We have a female CEO. Which one of the genius males working in this place put our new webpage together?
