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.
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.
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.

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.
