    In an effort to improve morale, my company is launching "accountability buddies".

    Your boss is no longer accountable for making sure you get your work done. Instead, it's your responsibility to find an accountability buddy to keep you on track.

    Or, if you have a goal outside work, why engage your friends? Instead, tie your entire personal sense of responsibility to work, and get a coworker to be your accountability buddy for it.

    But yeah, silicon valley is totally fully of the smartest, best people with the best ideas.

      "Accountability buddy" is what I'm going to name my hunter-killer police robots in my dystopian sci-fi novel

      jesus christ this sounds exactly like some bullshit my cursed cali based startup would do six months from now. thank you for reminding me that I should stop using weed to sleep so I can pass an employment drug test when I inevitably quit over some bullshit avant-garde method of gathering meaningless 'metrics'

      The last time my company did something like this I said "nah it's not for me" and then never heard back about it

      If its a colleague that is well aware this is all bullshit its fine. If its someone that is buying into the whole company thing - what a fucking shitty system
