The anonymous New York Times op-ed that revealed dissention at the top level of the White House administration inspired the following:
- Your team-building exercises include a car battery and waterboarding kit.
- Install a polygraph machine next to the copier.
- The company’s uniform policy includes a GPS-tracking ankle bracelet.
- You do a survey and single out the ones who didn’t think Super Troopers 1 was funny.
- Identify the employees who use the word “boss” with little air quotes.
- You threaten to swallow the company goldfish if no one comes forward.
- A company bulletin that reads: “The refrigerator, all toilet paper and internet access have been restricted until further notice.”
- IT installs a routine pop-up meme with a pic from the movie “Poltergeist” that reads “We Are Watching You.”
- Publish an anonymous Op-Ed piece saying you know who the anonymous Op-Ed source is.
- Casually announce that Robert Mueller has been hired to take over “Human Resources.”
- An exercise where employees are judged on how much their hands shake when handed a full “World’s Greatest Boss” coffee mug.
