Sometimes, I feel so proud of being Czech.
Because now, that somehow our team got placed under US managers, they are so fucking lost over our cultural standards. 
Sorry for our faggot rainbow demons
@LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty sounds about right.
I remember a story about a German company that got bought by an American company and the parent company sent over their own managers and whatnot. One of the first things they did was ban beer at work and ban the afternoon beer break. No beer with lunch either. Naturally, that didn't go over well and the German branch went from being the company's most productive and most profitable branch to being their least productive branch and actually costing the company money virtually overnight. It took them something like 3 months to realise the error of their ways and roll all the new policies back.
On the bright side IIRC the German company was apparently able to negotiate to have the company provide free beer to the employees so silver lining.
I've never understood the mentality of, "Man, this sure is a well oiled and fast running machine we just bought. So what we're going to do is remove that part of it over there and I'm gonna throw some of these wrenches into it and we'll just see what happens... Why is the machine all fucked up and not working right anymore?"
If things are already broken then it's whatever at least you're trying something new but for things that are already running smoothly, I just don't get it.

@sjw @LukeAlmighty BUT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE 1.3% MORE PRODUCTIVITY OUT OF WORKERS THIS FISCAL QUARTER BEFORE HALF OF THEM GET PISSED OFF AND QUIT

I think we both know the answer

it’s a middle management issue too: people in largely useless positions have to invent ways to make themselves necessary, and to look good to their superiors they have to change things at random and look like they’re doing something
though having middle managers who look like that sure doesn’t fuckin help
@DocScranton @sjw @LukeAlmighty there's literally a safety guy at work like that and I called him a janny to his face because he's a power tripping POS who will do shit like zip tie wires for "cable management". We tore a keyboards thin USB cable because of that.
@PurpCat @sjw @LukeAlmighty Hello, when posting pictures of disgusting, morbidly obese cretins, it is best practice to mark it is sensitive/nsfw.
