The last part is important. Some people can't recognize/accept that the person is not a great worker. And then each department wonders what idiot is going to show up this week.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoKeep in mind, if you ask a fish to climb a tree, is it the fishes’ fault when they’re flopping around on the ground? Some people are legitimately not a fit for an org, but it’s also important to be realistic about expectations. Hiring and people management in general is hard, I don’t envy anyone who has to do it at scale. Completely unrelated and shifting back closer to the thread topic, great to see this org codify this ideal explicitly. People are not fungible cogs between wildly disparate roles but they are usually somewhat adaptable under ideal conditions. This also positions the org to accelerate out of macro uncertainty properly staffed.
