This is where your future lies


This video is part of our new internal training program to infuse company values deep in the core of our members, in other words, this is how we do a mindfuck internally. This one is why we outsource stuff to Bangalore and you loose your high-paying job in Montreal.

Every ingredient of a successful recipe is there:

The hot blonde at 0:20 with a tight-fitting red blouse, the kind that you never ever see in a project. After the rest of the crew join her in fast forward (to depict how efficient we are), notice how one of the guy at her right checks his watch just to appear important. So clichéed it hurts, but what can I say it works.

The meeting-that-appears-to-be-fun at 0:30 because one guy throws a paper plane for no obvious reason and the crowd cheers him as if they didn't know that aircrafts do exist in this century. And into the previous as well. What can I say, Bangalore members are easily amused.

The older dude at 0:48 that is being reminded that gravity is a terrible force but his co-workers are there to support him at any time. What the grey-hair Sanji doesn't know yet is that he has a one-on-one appointment with HR at 4:30 because he's been on the bench for a while, and well let's just say tomorrow morning he'll be able to play with gravity all my himself without a safety net.

As for the "neo office" terms, I've been told it might be interpreted as a reference to sci fi movie I don't know jack about, but it was a good reference because the steak tastes good at CGI. Whatever.

So before you whine to your director about your perks and your profit sharing, go check how happy your colleagues are in Bangalore. They literally became one with profitable growth. They even dance for free, more on that later.
