Senior management doesn't use their users. They ask someone to open the page for them.

I once had a client’s ceo phone me up in a rage because the website was broken, how totally unprofessional it was etc.

After some confused troubleshooting, I discovered he was looking was printouts of the website he had his secretary make so he could look at it at home.

  if (user == onBehalfOfSeniorMgmt)
    doGrayball

I didn't know that term, so I googled it.

> Greyball was used by ride-hailing company Uber to evade city regulators and deny service to some customers...

What the hell, Uber?

> Uber did not receive any formal punishment or restrictions from the city.

What the hell, government?

I did something like this as an April Fool's prank on the head of the marketing department at the place I worked once.

Had it load a completely different CSS when the logged in user was her account. Good times.
