This thread can't be any more appropriate to my current situation at work. We are defining our culture but not all of the employees are on the same page. We're still trying to figure out the best way to do it. I actually do not want to try too hard to convince people to accept a particular type of culture. It's either you like it or you don't. A company should only keep those people that fits its culture.

Perhaps. Though fitting can have different definitions. Especially if your company is getting slightly bigger and not everyone interacts with everyone else on a daily basis.

>A company should only keep those people that fits its culture. This is where I get nervous when people start talking about "company culture". It will inevitably lead to this. Whatever happened to hiring people that can do the job, hopefully well? If the job requires that they have an "outgoing personality", like some sort of salesmen, then the requirement that they can do the job will be all you need. When you start weeding people out based on your completely arbitrary idea of what the company "culture" should be, I think that becomes a problem. This is only one step above race and sex based discrimination. Personality based discrimination should not be allowed (with the obvious caveat that you should be allowed to fire people with toxic personalities).
