Apparently the twist is designy.

It may be a cultural thing but I rarely find this style of poster motivating. More often I find it demotivating that an employer or co-worker has the gall (or perhaps naivete) to expect to influence my personal motivation through an arbitra

It's definitely not for want of trying. Every other week sees a new recruitment site pop up. The recruiting system we have is very well entrenched. I note that when we go through this process as passive participants we further entrench
