        I used to work for a company that would do mandatory fun every Thursday at lunch. It was one of the least enjoyable things I’ve ever experienced at work.

            Usually Gartic Phone, but it was a very uptight company so playing that with my coworkers made it utterly impossible to do anything funny.

    This reminds me when I was working for IBM ten years ago and in an attempt to be cool they have us a single beer, and then stamped our hand so we couldn’t get another.

    Once a company gets into these spirals it’s incredibly hard to right the ship again.

      The worker units of the species are motivated by imaginary numbers to an extent. However, these imaginary numbers are increasingly traded for sustenance. Thus perhapswe can provide sustenance directly!

      They gonna ask meta ai

      About that, I think I read that they have an unofficial policy like “thanks to ai coding agents, if a coding team needs more than a single pizza to be fed, it means it’s too big and someone needs to be fired”

      (Now, how to delete this meta ai stuff chat in my WhatsApp? It seems I can only delete on my side but they keep the rest for training)
