Well the Googles of the world are absolutely pulverizing the IBMs of the world so it’s really the people with “gravitas” who are playing House and the “elementary school” students who are getting shit done.



Meh, to be fair I don't want to work at an IBM either. Nor a Microsoft.

Guess truth be told I like working from my couch. No diversity teams blowing soap bubbles. No "Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking". Limited opportunity to play political games over Slack.

Although we will see if Asana lasts as long as IBM. Guessing not. And they seem to be a little further along the social engineering scale than Google is.


Isn't your couch the ultimate lack of gravitas for a workplace? Not throwing shade just didn't see how your two comments connect.


Compared to those pictures, my couch is a veritable church pew.

If people enjoy working in that kind of environment, fantastic. But it really looks like it would drive me bonkers and I'd long for a bland cubical with a neckbeard neighbor who didn't really like people.
