I don't know if I'd agree with that - I haven't worked at a company that uses them, but I have seen them all over Facebook, and they don't look like they're failing anytime soon so far.
- sp527 10y agoThose posters aren't for motivation. They're propaganda. You don't see the Soviet inspiration in bold type on a reddish background? EDIT: Lol this clearly made some people mad.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoThe similarities are striking, and their intent is literally the same.
- sp527 10y agoOh it gets even better. You can't even find the best ones in online pictures I think. They have an auditorium with floor to ceiling banners everywhere with those slogans (and those are the bold white font on red background I was referring to). All that's missing is Stalin preaching from a podium. Zuck pontificating on the "knowledge economy" does give him a run for his money though. And lest anyone mistake me for a hater, let me be clear that I have a tremendous amount of respect (even awe) for the information empire they've managed to build. I do question its value however. I know few (if really any) people for whom Facebook has been, on balance, a positive influence in their lives.
- omegaham 10y agoI would prefer actual Soviet propaganda posters on the wall over motivational posters. They'd be more entertaining.
