Filtering out the assholes is an accepted policy today but it didn’t just happen. Assholes were accepted and that sort of attitude wasn’t discouraged, until people started speaking up about it and others realized they probably had seen that dynamic. I see this article as a step in extending the anti-asshole policy to people who engage in this sort of behavior.
Can I tell you a perfect personality test that will always work and never fail? Absolutely not. Even the anti asshole processes don’t always work. But it seems a good thing that this sort of behavior is at least being described and reported on.
- taurath 5y agoEvery company that I’ve been in that had an anti asshole policy has meant that they don’t tolerate assholes at the line engineer level, since that’s reserved for management, especially director and up. I guess it’s better, but the proof is in what the management team looks like.
