I've always thought being meek and obedient was part and parcel of working for someone else. But I think being a good culture fit is a bit more than that.

- lovich 8y agoBeing meek and obedient is part of working for someone else when you have no choice. If you can get a comparable job in a short time, then it's the employers who start needing to be more meek
- adrianmonk 8y agoMy theory is hire smart professionals, then treat them like they're smart and professional. They should be expected to have an opinion and allowed to express it. If you don't want any of your ideas challenged ever, then don't waste your money hiring a person with a brain. And if you hire someone with 10 years of experience, hopefully you can appreciate that they've learned something in that time that give them a perspective you want to hear. But, of course, after they've respectfully disagreed, they should also be ready to set aside their opinion and go along with whatever was decided. That comes with the professional part of smart and professional.
