That's true, and these toilets are still clearly a reference to the french flag

For a lot of articles like these, looking at the answers to see if they're interesting is futile. The real insight is in the questions. In this case, you can reflect on your own friendships, and how the other side of them might see them differently.

Anecdotally, I'm pretty sure this phenomenon occurs even with bus lanes.

That depends on what you mean by deregulate. There's a lot of simplification through the single market and free movement of labor.

This is completely incomprehensible and very funny. It's also amusing how different this is to what Twitter has done. It seems incredibly unlikely that any consultants (overpriced or otherwise) were involved in Twitter's rebranding, whereas the Pepsi document seems like outsiders trying very earnestly to deliver to an executive they don't understand.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Not everyone writes with you in mind as their ideal reader. Some people write for themselves and publish to keep themselves honest, though I don't presume to know what OP's motives and goals are in this case.

And if you're interested in Adam Curtis, I recommend this parody/critique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1bX3F7uTrg

Not saying that Curtis's documentaries are without merit, just lending a little context.

It's feels great to be able to blame managers when something goes wrong, but that's the only real difference between having or not having your 'accountability chain'. And if your company is structured to have someone to blame when things go wrong, you're not really building for success.

I get that everyone is afraid of prioritization going out the window without managers, but in my experience (and ymmv), managers are no better than productives at prioritizing. Grown-ups are used to taking responsibility.
