I don't know why this made me laugh but it did. I guess firstly, it is a cringey question, then the answer is an insult to them, and they are oblivious and ask if it is on Netflix ( something all cringe employees like to "binge" and feel proud of), and then 'yes, yes its on netflix', assuring them that there is plenty of cringe content on netflix.

Thanks for making these videos. Earlier in life, I was the guy in the back with that horrified look on my face. At the time, I thought there was something wrong with me for failing to join in the fun that we were all supposed to be having. And can someone explain why free food is supposed to be an exciting perk? It was exciting when I was in grad school and perpetually broke. Now I have a good salary and can buy all the food I want. Food isn't that expensive. Will my coworkers think I'm a snob if I bring in my own food and act like I'm too good for their Cap'n'Crunch?
@imnotbreno

If they decide to give the money instead of the food, the money wouldn't be enough to buy the same amount of food individually. Economies of scale. Quality also tend to be better as they are cutting a middleman (grocery store/ markets) and reducing time between farm and plate. Then there's time, employees would spend more time cooking at home or going out for it. The real problem is when they offer things that you don't eat, otherwise I see no problem.

When I was in high school and working minimum wage, I absolutely loved getting free food because it was worth 1-2 hours of my time (depending on what it was and all that), but seriously, if you actually make a livable wage, and they aren't giving you a $30-$40 meal twice a day, it's shit, I'd rather be given $3 a day than a $7 meal that I don't get to choose.

This looks like fairly standard callcenter stuff. I've worked for several outsourcers, and this is the go-to carrot-on-a-stick "this will reduce our suicide rates" kind of thing. It's the company trying to force a culture that it internally does nothing to promote in the day-to-day activities of it's employees. No way they're gonna invest in their people when they chew through 3/4 of their staff every 1-2 years. None of their executive staff have actually been on the floor long enough to get a feeling for the actual company culture.

Can't speak enough to my support of Corporate Cringe videos lol. I need a playlist of nothing but Corporate Cringe. I subcontract people as 1099s exclusively, and I demand every client supports remote software development. My contractors wouldn't even consider working onsite. No one should have to deal with this kind of ridiculous behavior. I about died laughing at the reaction of that person who had their headphones ripped off during the video. You are literally doing God's work by exposing this stuff. The way you deliver the material and talk about it is exactly how myself (and I'm assuming many many other people) would frame it. This is probably my favorite channel so far that I've discovered in 2020

Wow 😳. Josh it’s crazy that PropLogix office is right down the street from my current developer job. I interviewed there passively with the CEO and I was toured around for their Sr. C# .Net position. Let me tell you guys that I could feel the corporate cringe as soon as I walked in. It’s a huge open office work space for everyone and that’s not even the best part. He told me that all of his developers love to be at work, a lot of them come in early and stay late. At the end of the day they have cocktail hour which basically is more work and they come in on weekends for like 4 hours during their Q4. He wanted to offer me but I wasn’t senior enough. They offer unlimited PTO too 😂. That was an easy NO for me !

As you said, they also pay utilities, maintenance (including cleaning!), property taxes. So sure they could have paid everyone 60k (or gone to a 4d work week and hired more people if needed) once but they also probably will find they're paying a suprisingly high amount each year just to house their pets where they can see them! Being FT remote is the best thing I ever did for me and my employer.

There is research that backs pretty strongly that close proximity and tight spaces make humans more prone to get along with those next to them (duh, since you have no choice)...and most importantly for the micro managing style companies, more susceptible to suggestion. This research was done about the impact of apartment complexes vs more space in houses. Interesting study. But it makes sense that if all a company wants is robots, they'd want to create spaces where drones are produced rather than independent people. Like it or not, most people are perfectly happy being drones and just following orders. It is, sadly, the world we live in.

Hey! I worked here for a year. It was the worst job I ever had. My first day I thought I joined a cult lol. If you are acknowledged and given raises for the work you do, then the person's happy. They seem to promote based on who they like better though. For the most part people are overlooked, underpaid, and overworked. I actually think if you're young and need your foot in the door then it's not a bad place to work. If you are over 20ish then move on.

I like to use this acronym to know what's important. There are 3 things that you need to value when it comes to work. L.T.M. stand for "Lunch, Time and Money". You can remember it by associating with "Long Term Management". It's your lunch, your time and your money that is being wasted on this. If you don't know when something is corporate garbage, just ask yourself: "Does this take away something of my LTM?" If the answer is yes, then it is and you should avoid it.

We used to have a snack cart. I shit you not. A person walking around each floor pushing a cart (many people actually, 15+ buildings in a downtown area and anywhere from 5-10 floors each). They would sometimes yell as they walk by the cubicle farms (short wall cubicles, of course, and kindergarden themed) "SNACK CART!!" and employees could purchase fruit or basic vending machine crap or energy drinks. It eventually died out, thankfully, because it was so damn cringy. I really felt bad for the people pushing that around yelling SNACK CARRRT. Sometimes I really wanted a drink or a fruit cup off of it too but I wouldn't because I hated the idea as it was extremely distracting. It was typically my cue to get up for a break and go to a local shop.
