    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.

    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)

    We are spending countless billions into AI bullshit and forcing everyone to train it to replace their own careers with no plan for them when that happens, most places haven't been even giving CoL raises or promotions, most forced everyone to start driving back into the office for no reason even though we all proved that remote work was far better in every metric, again wasting even more of their time and money. Everything is becoming 1984 dystopian, everything is being tracked and monitored and videoed and data collected on you all just to maximize how much they can exploit out of you. And we work our asses off for all that and take home just enough pay to hopefully not starve or go homeless. (And more than ever are sinking below that baseline)

    And the C suit morons STILL can't figure out why millions of workers are at an all-time low morale?

    Incredible. These guys could throw a rock at the ground and miss. They would starve in a grocery store. They couldn't find a tree in a forest. And other mocking jests.

    Crazy thought. Let people WFH again. Pay them a living wage at MINIMUM. Reign in the AI bullshit and only use it where it makes sense, don't force it. Treat your employees as humans. Don't be evil. Tell the truth. Value their contributions and skill and knowledge and ethics. Stop punishing them and instead set them up for success and enable them and watch what happens.
