Is this why Britain is failing?
I work for a company in England that has offices in different countries, including the US. It is a media company. I suspect it’s a fairly typical medium-sized corporation. In this post I will run down some of the things it has done in 2024 – though I could have gone further back (things started changing around 2018, with HR becoming ‘People & Culture’ and then got turbo-charged from 2020 onwards). I’m not saying that all of these things are bad things. Some are quite nice. They are not all ‘woke’. But many are. And taken together they suggest that many British companies in 2024 are perhaps not as focused on their core product as they might be.
