TIL some people think berating your employees when they do a mistake is a good way to run a company.
WOW!
It's just so wrong at so many levels, I don't even know where to start.
I'll leave a link to this video: https://www.ted.com/talks/brian_goldman_doctors_make_mistakes_can_we_talk_about_that https://www.ted.com/talks/brian_goldman_doctors_make_mistake...
- golergka 9y agoI don't think Job's way was a good way, but it's certainly better than whatever the hell they are doing now.
- romanovcode 9y agoI don't think firing people is berating.
- solatic 9y agoGrandparent isn't trying to condone the practice of berating employees but to demonstrate how Apple under Steve Jobs would've been much more likely to catch these kinds of screwups before production and much less likely to tolerate them once they occurred. The means of correction are less important than the standard of quality which was effectively enforced.
- EpicEng 9y agoI don't think that's what he's saying, but c'mon; it's a pretty dumb mistake. QA should be hauled in as well.
- gaastonsr 9y agoHe is not condoning it just mentioning how under Jobs this would have been a big deal.
- drawnwren 9y agoSo against we have Brian Goldman, MD. And for, we have Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and pretty much every other tech/entrepreneur darling of the 20th century. I'm pretty sure the results speak for themselves here.
- enknamel 9y agoThis is pretty unforgivable. It's like ok great, I'm paying 50 people to make an app and NONE OF THEM EVEN USED IT?!
