"We were Pivots, and one of the things that made us Pivots was that we paired."
Red flag for all kinds of weirdness if you're made to take on a company-based identity.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoThe company you work for is not a personality.
- quickthrower2 5y agoPivot, as in ... part of a machine I guess :-)
- mekkkkkk 5y agoYeah, this sort of behavior should make anyone cringe. I understand that you want to encourage team spirit and build cohesion, but jfc pump the brakes. Reminds of the Noogler hats[0] that screams "I'm New Resource no. 348, bear with me as I assimilate".

- jacques_chester 5y agoI once protested against the cult description and then someone pointed out that I did the 3-2-1 clap whenever my team finished an IPM or retro. Pivotal definitely had an incredibly strong cultural field strength. That much it shares with cults. Personally, I loved it, like anyone who finds a fit in such a place.
