Some of these made up labels are a bit cringe (Metamates at Meta), but at the end of the day it's a small attempt to add a bit of fun and create a closer team, so the intent isn't bad.
The only term that really bugs me is when companies seriously use the word "resources" to refer to people. It feels so damn dehumanizing every time I hear that.
- dougSF70 3y agoI agree the intent isnt bad day-to-day but when the terms are used in layoff announcements, e.g "to the Tacklers we are parting company with today..." it seems to dehumanize (perhaps intentionally) the outcome.
- dougSF70 3y agoIt's also a bit like schools and organizations that want to foster community by using the term community as much as possible, without actually doing the things required to create a community
