You’re sort of reducing yourself to a cog in a machine, rather than a person with like… passions and emotions and likes and dislikes and, you know, stuff that makes you human.
There’s a lot more that goes into a hire than technical proficiency, because there are a thousand other people with the same skills and what not checking those boxes.
Personality is far more important.
- chakhs 5y agoI don't get how this went to me having no personality :) I would care more about the product if it was something I believe in, maybe a job at Firefox because they care about a private internet. Just that most of the opportunities are not something I care about, but I need to pay bills in the end.
- giantg2 5y agoIt's not that you don't have a personality. It's that your personality would not be as easily controlled and wouldn't fit with the company culture. Edit: why downvote and flag?
- proc0 5y agoWell this reduction would in theory open more doors, and allow you to work in more places. If this "caring" weren't enforced so much, I would feel like my options would be greatly increased and I wouldn't need to care if I'm making a wedding app or a flying drone app, etc. I'm sure at the end of the day these places just need XYZ feature done and they're all specified in a way that you don't really need to care.
- giantg2 5y ago"Personality is far more important." I guess you could call it that. The leaders want a company culture that is easy to control and "fanatical" employees. Edit: why downvote? This is definitely one of those leadership buzzwords that they are trying to work on. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/smallbusiness/simon-sinek-how-to-make-your-employees-fanatical/ar-BB15J5YS https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/smallbusiness/simon-sinek-ho...
