- mellosouls 7y agoAgree, it's a bit like being at school and having the teacher who wanted you to call him by his first name instead of Mr Whatever. It's a bit David Brent/Michael Scott, probably quite well meaning but a bit off.
- askl83 7y agoSo every venture-backed company in SF/SV? I agree I hate it, but there are some companies that do it more jokingly than others.
- zzzcpan 7y agoIt's the same thing as giving fandoms names, pretty manipulative and creepy.
- askl83 7y agoI agree - the reason why companies do this is because creating a unified culture, which this falls under, makes it easier to manage your rank-and-file. Personally I avoid companies that talk about "culture" ad nauseam.
- CameronBarre 7y agoPersonally, I agree. I love working with other people, but NOT under those circumstances!
- darkr 7y agoI don’t know, it works quite well for us here at Dickey’s
