gollark: I would really prefer a company which actually does good, interesting stuff and contains sane people over one which makes me participate in stupid stuff because of "spiritual goodness".
gollark: You can cynically look at this as them trying to make employees develop emotional attachments to the company, too, to make them more exploitable or something.
gollark: I am NEVER working anywhere which randomly overritualizes stuff like this, probably, unless I just forget by the time I actually look for a job, which is likely.
gollark: Obviously what we need is *more* bizarre superstition and stuff. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
gollark: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY WHY WOULD YOU UNIRONICALLY DO THIS
