I think anyone who works for a big company, or at least most who do, will have experienced going to meetings that should’ve been e-mails?
Some of those probably shouldn’t have even been that. Like, for instance, yesterday’s all-departments show-and-tell meeting, where literally no departments had anything new to show.
Accessibility is pretty important though, you personally also do benefit from it - and others especially so!
It sure is. But as a backend dev I have no part of my code that has anything to do with accessibility. It doesn’t touch my work in any way. Nothing I do will make the app that I don’t work on more or less accessible.
Office supplies are also pretty important and I personally also do benefit from them. But still it would not be very helpful to me or anyone else if I, as a software developer, attend a daily meeting on restocking office supplies.
(Not sure if you have a software development background or not, just in case you don’t: Software is usually split into backend and frontend. Frontend are e.g. apps and website, backend are the servers. Stuff like user interface, user experience and accessibility are firmly frontend things, while the backend supplies business data to the frontends, e.g. user account information, order history, product listings and so on. You could say the backend is responsible for “what” to dislay and the frontend is responsible for “how” to display stuff. Stuff like user interface, user experience or accessibility are firmly frontend topics and backend has nothing to do with them.)
