Couldn’t read the article because it’s subscription-walled, but based on the comments, it looks like they have an “official” internal meme generator that management and HR tolerate because it allows employees to blow off steam and sorta socialize through humor. IMO it’s a terrible thing because:

1. Everything’s funny until someone has too spicy of a take, and you bet your ass HR or your manager will be on you.

2. Some employees are using it to indirectly complain about issues, processes, and tools; which doesn’t help to bring any change because using memes doesn’t actually do anything. Some former employees in the comments mentioned they check the memes to report defects and issues.

It is a tool for management to deflect problems and avoid acting on issues employees raise.
