Usually the lower an employee is on the company totem pole, the more they are treated like infants. More "company values" to replace any values you might hold, more dumb names. Maybe they will make fun new uniforms for the metamates soon. That way the adults can quickly pick out when children are in the room and adjust accordingly.
It's going to be funny seeing employees laugh it off and use the name ironically, and watch in horror as the irony is gradually lost in translation to newcomers.
- Trasmatta 5y agoMy company has also been pushing "company values" very hard, and I've always hated it. It feels cult like and condescending. Especially when they capitalize them. We have to show that we all believe in the value of Ownership here!
- zaptheimpaler 5y agoYes, be an Owner in every way except the one in the ways that matter - decision making and a piece of the profits. I just ignore dumb propaganda like this. You have no obligation to accept the responsibilities of ownership if they don’t come with a proportional piece of the rights & rewards. Although if you are given options worth a fair amount of % ownership, this may be a reasonable request.
- wintermutestwin 5y ago>an Owner in every way except the one in the ways that matter - decision making and a piece of the profits. Ouch - that stings me with my past history of nearly 2 decades as a megacorp product manager. Of course I took ownership because that's how I am wired - not because of some corporate culture initiative.
