Hiring & Loss Aversion Jujitsu
- davi 17y agoHas anybody here ever done this in the real world? Or had it done to them?
- jbyers 17y agoYes on both counts. I'd say it happens all the time in startups, especially with co-founders and early hires.
- spuz 17y agoTrust economics to give us a scientific name for flirting, but why "salami tactics"? :)
- MediaSquirrel 17y agohmm. Hadn't thought of the double-entaunte there. Nice.
- Estragon 17y agoAnd pretty soon you're upstairs rollicking on the kitchen table. Who'd a thunk it would've gone so far? Apparently because salami tactics lead to salami action. I'm a bit surprised that he is using this imagery (and the imagery of border incursions) while he's presumably in the process of hiring people. Does he really want prospective hires to think in these terms?
- timr 17y ago"A good parallel is the romantic realm: First a light kiss. Then harder. A hand wrapped around the low back. Upper back. In the hair. Grabbing. Tugging. Pulling. A brush against the breast. A kiss on neck. The clavicle. Sternum. Clothed breast. Bare breast. Nipple. And pretty soon you're upstairs rollicking on the kitchen table....This, my friends, is how the poor man should hire." With this kind of enlightened dialectic, I just can't understand why more women don't go into computers.
