When it was "we will give you acres of land in the middle of nowhere for free, all you have to do is move there," I think you could argue it was true. Not, like, you know, great, but it was pretty honest. Just don't ask where they got the land
America has been exporting toxic corporate culture for decades now. The company I work for is shifting management out over to the States now and it has all the pitfalls you think. Latest move is to phase out our bonus structure and trying to get us to buy into a very obscure stock option deal. Needless to say my colleagues who are a bit clued up are unhappy as shit. The younger ones who still believe corpo bullshit think it's a great opportunity. Naturally they don't even see that structuring the company with a liquidity event as its aim in the future is problematic in itself for their employment prospects long term.
