    I fucking hate it. I dont get it. Its a JOB. It means nothing to me. Just middle management and HR trying to justify their existance. Just cause they dont have personal lives.

      An idea was floated by HR that each team should make a video (to put on our intranet) explaining what we do and how we fit into the organisation.

      The kicker - it should have been a music video!!! Everyone loves to sing on camera!!

      Thankfully upper management put an end to it quickly, but it went way further than it should have.

          We’re talking about HR here, so definitely not.

          I should note that there were a few teams that very actually disappointed that this didn’t eventuate.

          Those team members have been reported to ASIO as potential spies

            Report?! No no no. Execute them now. Clearly they are shapeshifting aliens! I’d say robots but I think even robots would shy away from an artsy idea like that.

        Oh man that is the worse. Also cue music The Human Beinz - Nobody but me song from The Office where they all film a music video and mime together.

      I’m just not sold on the effectiveness…the best cultures I’ve worked in I feel like it all comes quite organically because you like the people they get you and you get along well together. No amount of forcing people to party in a room will achieve that.
