The Real Culture Test

We all love the perks, right? Free breakfasts that make Monday mornings just a little sweeter, foreign offsites that let us "work" from some of the coolest places, and those Friday beers that kick off the weekend vibes early.
But here’s the real kicker: you can have all the perks in the world, yet the true test of a company’s culture is something much simpler (and surprisingly elusive). It’s when you look around the office (or Zoom squares) and can’t quite figure out who’s the boss.
Is it the person in the sharp suit? Nope, that’s just Dave from Marketing who really loves his blazers. The one leading the meeting? Actually, that’s Priya from HR – she just has a way with PowerPoint. Or maybe it's the person pouring coffee for everyone... Oh wait, that’s the CEO.
The secret sauce? It’s when hierarchy takes a backseat to collaboration, and everyone’s just doing their thing, together.
So next time you're guessing who’s who in the office, remember: it’s probably a sign that we’re getting this whole work culture thing right. Cheers to more perks, more collaboration, and less hierarchy confusion!
