The idea that everyone can and should work at a company where they really believe in the mission or culture of that company seems at least somewhat idealistic and naïve.
- riebschlager 11y agoAbsolutely. Also, that choice is luxury that many of us have access to but most people don't.
- Kinnard 11y agoIt's a ideal you should always be pushing toward even if you can't ever actually achieve it completely. If you let up pressure for just a moment, the pendulum will swing in the other direction. And you definitely don't want that.
- guiseppecalzone 11y agoJoseph here again. I wrote the post. Agreed. The mission becomes key in having everyone focused and going in the same direction. Startups are really powerful when you have a small group of people are highly focused on solving a specific problem. That’s how they can compete against massive companies. They lose that power when everyone is going in different directions.
- scurvy 11y agoYou can be highly focused on solving a problem without drinking the koolaid. It's not a requirement. Nothing wrong with kicking ass from 9-5 M-F consistently while your less effective coworkers struggle over long hours and through the weekend.
