I read the related "conscious culture" manifesto and came across this "gem":
"When hiring a new person, wait until their official start date to onboard them, which includes granting access to email and internal documents. Avoid letting a new hire start early because:
[...]
Information in Slack or Google drive could tip them away from your company"
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoOh dear, they're really telling on themselves aren't they? I mean not giving them access to e-mail and internal documents until their formal start date is pretty normal, unless they sign an NDA that kicks in earlier.
- CPLX 5y agoIt's quite possible that they're a dubious organization, but this note hardly proves it. It's really hard to get a read on internal company docs without any context whatsoever, they weren't written for an outside audience and it doesn't seem surprising that they could cause major confusion for someone unfamiliar with the local jargon and so on.
- gwright 5y agoThat seems like a silly reason -- there are lots more perfectly reasonable legal/security reasons to not have "early access" though.
