- draw_down 10y ago> Part of honest writing is being candid about both positives and negatives, and every time I think about disclosing the negatives of my time at Twitter (of which there are plenty), it somehow feels unprofessional. I really hate this about the tech industry. edit: > when you’re the person in the room silently thinking “I know how this ends” or worse yet failing to put your best energy forth, it’s probably time to move on. This is really hitting home for me :/. I agree, it's a good barometer for when you should move on.
- alexandrerond 10y agoAnother nice quote: > Over the years, I have realized that I am 1000% guilty of this. Life is too short to work with assholes, and if you are an asshole, my brain will concoct all sorts of reasons you are probably not the best person for the job. Conversely, if you are kind-hearted and emotionally intelligent, I will go out of my way to help you succeed in almost any situation.
- alexandrerond 10y agoThis is a very nice post full of wisdom. Specially the section about management: > Here’s the difference, though, in someone who has and doesn’t have emotional intelligence: the former will pick up that these problems exist from the team, take their emotions seriously, and dig in to help fix. The latter will largely discount the unhappiness and, at worst, attribute it to the person who is unhappy instead of the root cause.
