Is all that stuff just like cargo culted from these giant companies? My company does these things and I've always kind of found it weird that so many unrelated people seem to use the same terms. Like one year we just started using okrs and seemed like everyone else was too. Silent reading was a fad for a year too. I think everyone found it be annoying though no one does the silent reading thing anymore
Fads come and go. If they significantly improve life, they tend to stick around until they are near-universal. If they significantly detract, they tend to go away.
What people notice are the new fads and the ones which are negatives but for some reason are still being used.
