It's that people are too sensitive, is it? Or is it that "culture fit" excuses...uh...suck?
The hand-wringing sorts who are simultaneously so protective of a company's "culture" but are so unable to substantiate how someone might not fit in in a way that isn't telling on themselves should be worried, but not because somebody might get mad at them on Twitter. It's because they're at best losing out on good candidates and at worst perpetuating dark and shitty behaviors onto people who don't deserve it.
- Thorentis 7y agoYes, that feedback isn't very useful. It was just an example. But people would be offended at almost anything these days. Not educated enough. Not skilled enough. Not personable enough. Whatever. People can't look at themselves honestly and take on board criticism, and it is making us worse people.
- eropple 7y agoThis is, to put it--well, honestly--is nonsense. It is the okeydoke of a regressive casting of a history that never existed in comparison to a present that differs only in the breadth of unwilling to take quite as much shit as prior generations because they know that maybe they don't, on all axes, have to do so. (Just on so many others.) The galaxy-brained fear that makes people act as you are acting right now is a worse thing for all of us than some mythical inability to take criticism.
