We can wear jeans and t-shirts, but the new professional standard requires pretending to have passion for the CEO's vision because plain old performance with a good attitude isn't enough anymore. Thought codes instead of dress codes.
- maxxxxx 10y agoI always think corporations are run like communist states: central planning, ideology, thought control.
- Senji 10y agoBetter that than the shitshow egalitarian democratic companies would be.
- pbh101 10y agoI think one follows from the other: in central planning, someone can negatively affect your prospects without much immediate adverse effect, and for possibly trivial reasons. Because of this implied threat, conformance to the party line becomes mandatory. Fortunately, when this happens in a company, you can find another job relatively easily (when it is) as your prospects were only curtailed within the scope of the firm. Finding another citizenship is a good deal harder.

- r_smart 10y agoThe problem with the utopian version is that centralization of power pretty much guarantees it won't happen, hence the failed states. It's like how benevolent dictatorships are one of the best forms of government, but you never want to try and implement that for obvious reasons.
