"We're building a people-first culture" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"We're building a people-first culture"

What they really mean

We have a ping pong table and mandatory fun events

"At GrowthCo, we're building a people-first culture where everyone's voice matters."

"We'll guilt-trip you into team-building events after work and call it culture. Also, the ping pong table is broken."

I'm hoping you forget about this entirely

I don't want to do this and I'm not going to

Nobody agrees on anything and we've been arguing for months

Looking for more corporate empathy language?
