I wish people would stop repeating this BS. It was an internal ship party for WP employees. Hyperbole and trash-talking is common at such things. As it should be.

Where I walk, the only trash talking is about management and how fucking far behind we're lagging re. the competition. Burying the competitor's product is narcissistic and pathetic. Maybe this had been ordered from above.

Why?

I've worked at places that are traditional soul sucking enterprises, and people generally still joke around.

Why should it be common ?

What good is a morale event for a team where everyone talks about how far behind they are ?

Maybe not talk about either then?
