A corporation's culture is what it allows to happen and doesn't fix.
My major takeaways from this:
* Spotify doesn't have good oversight of their managers
* Spotify doesn't value their individual contributors enough to provide them with a clear problem resolution path for this situation
* Spotify has an HR shadowban procedure
* The author doesn't have (or didn't have) great coping skills when presented with a corporate political problem outside of the usual context
- kcplate 4y ago> Spotify has an HR shadowban procedure Not sure about Sweden (where I assume this situation took place), but it’s common in the US to have “Ineligible for rehire” flags that can be placed place on a terminated employee’s file that effectively blacklists the employee from working for the company again. I can envision a situation where a person is terminated, another manager sought to hire the termed employee and HR stops the process because they employee doesn’t have rehire eligibility. Prospective future employers of the employee can contact the other companies the employee worked for and most HR departments will confirm employment, confirm salary, confirm hire/end dates, and will confirm rehire eligibility status. It’s why it’s really important to try and avoid getting termed for cause in the US…while it’s not a “blacklist”, it certainly can follow you.
