It wasn't even that long ago, in 2011-2012 i worked at a place which "pub lunched" multiple times a week. Hell, our yearly IT budget had its 1st draft written in a bar on a Tuesday morning.
The world has changed but it came to some industries far faster then others. Advertising and Marketing seemed to be the biggest hold outs.
- mschuster91 4y ago> Advertising and Marketing seemed to be the biggest hold outs. I'm working in that area on the tech side. Most corporate places these days are dead, soulless paper pushing jobs manned by drones. In contrast, the advertising, marketing and entertainment (movies, music, ...) industry depends on their people not being mindless drones, so they are heavily incentivized to allow their employees whatever they need to get their job done. Obviously that has led to a number of issues, particularly with sexualized aggression and abuses of power/authority (#metoo being just the tip of the iceberg), so we're seeing some of the freedoms of the holdouts being taken back... but I'm pretty confident the industry as a whole will not be "corporate transformed" any time in the near future.
