Interesting, you view the list as an amusing take on things to avoid.
I view it as sport to keep me going at the corrupt, horrifically depressing companies I’ve had to work at, and have been unable to escape.
- lolc 9y agoI don't see how acting that way would make the companies less depressing overall.
- nkrisc 9y agoI think this could actually be a manual for promotions at such organizations.
- maxxxxx 9y agoIt totally is. Another point is to make no contributions during the whole meeting but at the end be the last one to speak, make sure to summarize what everybody has said. the meeting is yours and you are automatically the insightful leader.
- gregmac 9y agoI have seen this done by a couple different people. They were not recognized as insightful, and more often recognized as annoying. They also often don't summarize properly but it's easier to let them conclude and pretend they were useful than to debate with them. The more important thing is the actual meeting notes are accurate. (I also strongly believe that a meeting without published notes is largely useless and irrelevant, but that's a while other topic.)
- nkrisc 9y agoOf course, that will never work in any sane place. The point I was making is all these "sabotage" behaviors are actually the sorts of things that get you promoted at toxic places.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI don't think the place has to be that toxic. In most larger companies there is a lot of political posturing going and these strategies all can be very useful under certain circumstances. The good players are just not too blatant about it.
