It looks to me like it's an HR conference for HR people who want to think they are doing good in the world.

It's a scam. I saw something on...Bluesky? Or somewhere about a political party where people can donate. It's mission was "Cooperation" or some shit, it didn't have any info about candidates, positions on policy, or any of that. It was just vague buzzwords. And merch, they had merch. For a Political Party with no listed representatives.

Sounds like an excuse to go to a conference.

Looking at the agenda it's all like - "revolutionary idea, what if we organized a company so that it's not horribly dysfunctional"

4/10, would attend if all expenses covered

This is either a grift or some really clever performance art

Is Your Organization Built To Thrive?

Responsive isn’t just a business book. It is a choose-your-own adventure guide to the future of work. Best-selling author Robin Zander shares stories ranging from Navy SEALs in Iraq to technology giants experimenting in Silicon Valley, from the inner workings of a sex cult to how a group of anonymous activists can change politics. In Responsive: What It Takes to Create a Thriving Organization, Zander has distilled tactics from forward-thinking practitioners, including: 

  • Charles Best (CEO of Donorschoose.org)
  • Stanley McChrystal (United States Army general, retired, author Team of Teams)
  • Gayle Karen Young (former Head of People and Talent at Wikimedia)

You will meet boundary-pushing companies like: 

  • The Morning Star Company
  • Buffer
  • Culture Amp
  • Wikipedia
  • General Electric
  • Three Stone Hearth
  • Zappos
  • Robin’s Cafe

Learn to keep pace and thrive in the Future of Work.

Wait I thought this was satire. It is real !!

[–] aubeynarf@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i’m just disappointed to see that the sex cult tactics weren’t included.

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Spoiler: it involves slapping people in the head with your dong or boobies to motivate them.

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I watched the video and I have still no idea what the conference is about. And judging on the conference hall size there not a lot of people are fooled by it.

[–] Cano@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Damn, it's so vague i still don't understand what the fuck you're talking about!
