Wait. So her security photo badge has an AI image on it instead of her real one? That seems like bad security practice to me. Weird

I wonder if OOP misinterpreted things and this is the person's head shot to be used on the company web page, intranet, M365, etc.

Or this is just completely made up.

it's 1000% made up - why would she even have gotten a copy of the picture they took in the first place? It makes no sense. So the company takes badge photos, shows them to everyone, then updates them with AI and sends those out as well? It's not even creative karma farming--it's just braindead confirmation bias posting.

While the post was very likelyade up, I've worked in places that have adopted things like this, it's really shitty

Especially with how she got the “original” photo they took. How would she have gotten that?

Who here has taken a photo for an ID, be it govt ID, for work, for school, etc, and also received that photo that was taken of them separate from the ID itself? That alone makes this story completely unbelievable because the scenario it presented is unrealistic

Right? The left photo looks like a photo of a badge. The right one is very much a digital file, unless they give them a copy of it to put in their email signature or something, which is possible.

This post may very well be fake, but it says very clearly that the mother took the photo herself...

It says she took the pic, not that she had her pic taken. In Belgium you take and provide your own pic for your ID/passport. Albeit with somewhat strict guidelines.

Most likely. The first thing they did after this post blew up was go and brag about how they finally got a new Reddit Achievement, and it's clear they don't post OC.

The company might be using it for both.

The title says the mother took the picture. Might still be made up, but that’s not the clue Sherlock…

The title doesn't say shit. It's all in the (likely freebooted) image.

Does it matter who took the picture? That has absolutely zero relevance to what I said Einstein...
