"2) It boosts office morale. When Ryan and I set up AwesomenessReminders, we had it rotate through our team – so everyone would get a turn at being awesome. [...] We all like to stop what we’re doing, put the call on speakerphone and cheer when they tell us we’re awesome."

- jasonshen 16y agoI saw that Economist article. Have to say - those British guys seem like squares. =) My understanding is that Zappos put "fun" and "weird" into their culture because everyone already felt that way. And the example they cite from Mad Men (drinking at work, having affairs) is way more disruptive/unproductive than a 30 second phone call.
