This is one of the hardest things as you scale the business. Make sure that the company's hiring effort isn't captured by politics, but stays aligned to the mission and rewards those who are competent. In a startup it's easy. You have direct market feedback. In a big company it's one of the most difficult problems to solve. Feel pretty sure that in those 12k people fired were some of the most competent people at Boeing, while some of those better at politics were retained.
