nullagentThe show Silicon Valley was a documentary.
Dimples@nullagent corporate conventions do this ( both with and without rap) all the time. It’s never not an embarrassment. I have no idea who in corporate America thinks these things are either fun, interesting or not 1000% cringe, but they should be fired.
But they will get promoted instead.
jonathankoren™@Magooish @nullagent I mean, the whole conference around a corporate product is just kinda inherently lame. Particularly when it comes to being officially sponsored. It always feels like a timeshare pitch from Tony Robbins
@jonathankoren @nullagent agreed. Typically it’s designed to deliver a consistent message about something huge and rally around it. But these little acting singing dancing things are awful. Literally the antithesis of what they are trying to do. Corporate conformity culture is a thing of the past.
@Magooish @nullagent I can’t wait until corporate hymns become a thing again. https://youtu.be/L9oh3gqOEKU?si=WrKiEwyC1KEBrO7X

@jonathankoren @nullagent that’s hilarious.
There was a time when people who worked for corporations truly believed the mission, thought it was beneficial for society and took pride in their work.
That was before the Internet, before corporate greed became its hallmark and not a side effect and when the old boys club held all the secrets of how they worked in a vault.
Those days are over. Corporations don’t understand that, to their detriment.

@Magooish @nullagent those people were always rubes.
@jonathankoren @nullagent The world is full of optimists who are seeking a place to be relevant and make change, but within the system and by preset parameters. We seek conformity, but what we never really embrace is that we get to set the rules.
Once we realize we can be the change we seek, we back off. Not because we can’t do it, but because that power is overwhelming.
