The phrase is lame corporate BS, for sure. But where does it say that the employees were told to refer to each other using this term? I mean apart from Boing Boing inferring it? As far as I can tell, Zuck had put this dumb motto in a super corny slide, which was riffing off of Instagram's "Ship, Shipmates, Self" values guideline. Just a dumb corporate meeting catch phrase to sum up their new focus. Tons of big companies do this. It's Meme-worthy, I guess. but not news worthy.
