Another in the occasional series where I have a little moan. This one was prompted by looking at a presentation and it hit pretty much every one of these tropes.

The smiles. Big beaming, white teeth. Everyone smiling at everyone. Someone help me please.

4 people sitting round a laptop, one of them pointing. It. Never. Happens.

Handshakes. Invariably white men, across a table, smiling.

Hands in general. Holding pens, typing, pointing, using a tablet.

Commerce is a shopping trolley. Or a pile of coins.

Powerful women are shown standing, usually leaning, arms crossed, looking directly at the camera.

Remote working is ALL about the Zoom call in stock picture land. And a kitchen, a bedroom or outdoor space. And coffee. Always coffee.

Lots of hands of different people all meeting together and photographed from the top down? That’s the diversity pic of course.
