do you not understand how ads work now or

i know how ads work but this also seems like a response to the fact that ads are doing poorly now that everyone has adblockers so maybe they'd actually change things up

having a culture that you can easily enter via a simple and benign ritual is actually not a bad thing. much better than eating lunch at your desk alone until you meet enough people.

idk we have this thing called 'stand up' where at the start of each day, teams gather round in the meeting rooms and spend half an hour discussing how the business is moving, what everybody is doing for the day and raising any questions to management.

seems like a legit way to get motivated and also gets you interacting right out of the door without none of this stupid cult stuff.

we do this but it's eight minutes and everybody says what they did that day and somebody makes a joke about "poo poo's all hosed up" and somebody chugs a beer on camera and then we laugh and go back to work
