Middle management
I was at Super Target this morning, picking up a few things and some coffee before getting into the office. It was around 8:30, and I saw something horrific. The Target team was getting ready for the day, and in the middle of the main aisle, a whole group of them were in a circle. Suddenly, the whole group of them started chanting. One yelled "super," the rest yelled "target." There may have been high-fives. This went on for a full minute. They then broke and presumably went to work all pepped up.
My sister once had a job (for a week and a half) where there was a cheer before every working day. She's incapable of replicating the cheer, nearly five years later, because she laughs too hard to finish it. I can't imagine what sick fuck thought that a cheer was a good way to start off a working day. Actually I can. Some asshole who used to coach highschool football, went to a few team building management seminars, went to a few cult indoctrination seminars and came back with an inspiring way to motivate his troops. The fact that he wasn't murdered in his sleep before his motivation strategy took hold in middle management all across the country is a national tragedy.
I may bitch about my job from time to time, but our team building exercises always involve food and alcohol.
