It's typically called "culture fit".
EDIT: Not all culture fit is bad, I think it's important that people can work together. But it can easily disguise any number of subjective biases, many of which you may not be aware.
- staunch 11y agoWhere "culture" really means class. Lower class culture vs upper class culture. Poor people make non-poor people very uncomfortable. The bar scene in Good Will Hunting is such a good example.
- duaneb 11y agoI don't necessarily agree with this. There are a number of polarizing factors—ethnicity, religion, politics, age, having a family. Class is only one way to get filtered out.
- dajohnson89 11y agoClass is part of it, but culture as a term is often expanded to mean whatever the hiring manager wants it to be.
