Slop. Real rowers weren't set up to spin the ship in circles.

But if you alternate rowing left and right, that's how you go in a straight line.

The correct method has everyone pulling in the same direction like in this schema:

If they all pull, then the oars move through the water to the left, thereby propelling the ship to the right.

In contrast, in the post, everyone pulling exerts a force that is counter clockwise around the vertical axis of the ship.

Wouldn't that arrangement of rowers just spin the boat around in circles? Or is that intentional..

If it is supposed to show how a large corporation works, then it is pretty accurate
