I'd recommend reading the linked article, because there are some self-evidently laddish bits therein....such as, Uber explicitly mentioning in the pre-offsite email that Travis was not planning on having sex with any of his employees at the event and then cheekily tagging the sentence as #CEOLife and #FML.
Or telling employees to "have a great fucking time" but "don't throw kegs off of tall buildings"....I mean, I read that as them pretty explicitly saying, "we expect you to get drunk and rowdy, just make sure to stop before you do anything that has legal repercussions".
That's not laddish?
- chrischen 9y agoIf you trow a keg off a building, yes, but that statement seems like a joke. So if we make jokes about outlandishly wild behavior it's now not OK?

- zzalpha 9y agoSo if we make jokes about outlandishly wild behavior it's now not OK? As a professional? No, it damn well isn't. Why is that difficult to understand? Hell, I would expect better of basically any grown adult over the age of 25. Oh wait, that explains everything...
- chrischen 9y agoSeeing as how it was an internal uber memo, don't work for uber... I suppose you'd enjoy 1960s-era IBM, going to work in a suit, and other dull things, some other people don't.
- zzalpha 9y agoIt says a lot that you think the only alternative is "1960s-era IBM, going to work in a suit, and other dull things"... Personally, I simply prefer to surround myself with people who've grown out of the phase where they value weekend benders and banging co-workers.
- chrischen 9y agoThe memo specifically discourages weekend bender type behavior. You're reading too much into what should be not interpreted as more than lighthearted communication.
