I was recently working for a company which got acquired by IBM and we had to do it too. It’s an IBM thing. I bet most people at HashiCorp hate it, at least that was the case for us.

Makes IBM look really bad. Do they also force people to bow when the CEO of IBM enters the room, and address them as sir or your highness?

They used to have their employees sign songs praising the company...

Granted, that was in the 1930s or something, but still.

I remember it being a part of the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley and thought it couldn’t be true. But apparently it was.

Wow, the truth is stranger than fiction.
