I was a bit irritated by the section about employees not doing outreach well enough. Who does hiring reflect well upon? I’m not bothering people in my network so you can look like an effective recruiter to your boss. Maybe employees don’t try because you don’t give them a reason to, and they have incentives in the other direction, like not being the guy in the friend group that’s always talking about how awesome their company is. When in reality, our industry is made up of people hopping between companies so they are more similar than dissimilar.

>always talking about how awesome their company is. no need for "always talking", or pretty much talking at all - a new over-the-top-packaged Model X and the second home in Los Gatos do all the "outreach", and the casual mentioning of 500K+ total comp and an FB 600K+ offer not moving you because it is much more heavier on stock than your current comp is all the talking needed to easily convince me that my friend's company is awesome (even though i had thought that it is a pretty crappy one until i learned of the money they pay, and they happen to be more awesome even than Google who gave me pretty low offer ) and to make me sorry for failing to get into such an awesome company :).
