"Additionally team and corporate culture are valueless, so retaining these things is unimportant."
Honestly I've never felt all that connected to any of the forced attempts to create a corporate or team culture where I've worked. I'd much rather be motivated by money.
Though I recognize that likely means I'm not an ideal employee.
- chadgeidel 10y agoI would argue any "forced attempts to create a corporate or team culture" signal poor culture. I've worked at "good culture" and "bad culture" places and the "good culture" places had events but they were never labeled as such - they were just "events".
- sportanova 10y ago"These are you new values and reasons for being!" Shocking that that doesn't work. And I don't understand how people take seriously the "need to be passionate about x industry". No, you just need to pay money and the employee needs to do acceptable work
- pdpi 10y agoThat's a fundamental misunderstanding of what corporate culture means (and that misunderstanding is, in my experience, a sign that the culture is actually pretty bad). Comparing my previous and current positions, there's clear differences in what sort of behaviour is acceptable, what sort of behaviour is frowned upon, and what sort of behaviour is praised. This both in terms of the work product itself, and in the way we relate to each other as colleagues. I can also tell you in no uncertain terms that a culture I'm happy with is much stronger than money at producing the sort of motivation that keeps me producing "acceptable work".
- sportanova 10y agoIt might originally have been a misunderstanding, but like how "literally", now also means "not literally" it's the meaning of "culture".
