Drink the kool aid. It means to blindly follow what you are told (by the company, most likely in this case) no matter how crazy, without questioning. Google Jim Jones / Jonestown massacre.

This led to me to research the Jonestown massacre for 2 hours on the internet instead of sleeping. Thank you.

Watch the video of the massacre. You'll loose sleep for multiple days then..

“Drink the koolaid,” refers to the Jonestown massacre; it means to completely and uncritically buy into whatever management is trying to make you believe.

Add 3 alcohols and you would’ve had the trifecta

Buy into the company culture and group think. Sometimes it's necessary to get ahead. Remember you gotta go along to get along.

You can pretend to buy in while talking amongst your co-workers about how it’s BS. Blind helps with that

Depends on if someone is telling you to do it or someone else IS doing it. If they say someone else is doing it, it means they’re a sheep following orders with no input and excited about it. If they tell YOU directly to drink it, they may possibly hate you and want you to kill yourself. Lol

Do y’all remember the old Kool Aid commercials with the giant Kool Aid man? He would give out drinks to kids who felt sad and when they drank his “Kool Aid”, they transformed into happy Kool Aid people too. That’s drinking the Kool Aid. It’s a drug.
