One part of maturing as a professional is learning how to say "OMG what concoction of apathy and hallucinogenics did you people chug for a whole quarter to make this piece of garbage" in a constructive way that still gets people to listen and fix things...

For the most egregious items... 1) do my ranting and raging to a few Eng/UX confidants, often on other teams or something 2) THEN politely document and show the broken UX to people, it's usually so broken that even they'll go "wait, that's really how it works? wtf?!?!?"
The third party confidants are key, lol. The documentation part is interesting to me, tho. Is there a strong culture of institutionalizing knowledge through writing at your company?

I use "documenting" loosely. Sure, google has a gazillion slide decks bouncing around. But I like having things in slides because I can focus/highlight/call out the important stuff without letting people get distracted. Also good to have things to point back to as 'work I did'

That makes sense. It sounds like it's about creating artifacts of your work that can be easily shared, making it possible for you to influence without being present
