“Employees leave managers, not companies”. I think this is well understood, however, why isn’t that logic applied to hiring?
Even for startups, my experience points to early employees joining founders that they like or have worked closely with before. The actual problem they are solving usually is in the top 3, but not the #1 reason.
- Impossible 7y agoThe manager and team I'm joining, as well as general team/company culture have a massive affect on whether or not I accept a position. Company matters of course but I've also joined potentially problematic companies because I felt good about the team and not regretted the decision.
