Be very, very careful with this. I was once brought to a company where my boss and her boss came from the same company essentially at the same time. My boss was considered overly aggressive with wanting to make (good) changes and "spoke too fast" (seriously, grown ass people made that complaint) this, but her boss was pretty much universally hated. That attitude reflected extensively downwards onto me and her. I couldn't handle it and had to leave after four months.
- HillaryBriss 10y agoYeah. I think you've hit on another danger: group culture clashes. It seems like an entire team would be more difficult to beat into submission, I mean, acculturate, than just one single person.
- bpchaps 10y agoThe HR person at that same place told me that they often hired people knowing that they'd quit sometime into their employment and hinted they were there for only for political weight. So yeah, acculturation often runs deep and sharp.
