At the risk of something it may be wise to not connect to my employment history, I worry about this sometimes. (and selfishly, it's effect on me/people like me.) Despite what I like to think of as a rather fortuitous career path, I've definitely run up against hiring managers who have told me explicitly such things as "We avoid hiring nonconformists like you" (a verbatim quote from an employee at a F100) and worry that if we start becoming even more vague and sociological with our hiring, we'll merely discriminate more against mental/social diversity. Seeing many articles that pop up nowadays on this topic makes me worry for younger generations of "Weirdos"(like younger me :) ), that they may not be lucky enough to find someone open and gracious enough to give them an opportunity and teach them how to fit in better, lest they be "toxic". (I really hate that buzzword too, it's become such a catchall for "behavior we don't like", almost a standin for "culture fit". HBR was more constrained in their definition, so I certainly don't want to paint with a broad brush, but the tone of the conversation on the whole makes me raise an eyebrow for where it'll move in the future)
