Does that mean managers are incentivised not to let go of underperformers?
- andromeduck 3y agoThat's "durable savings" for ya.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoYes absolutely. I was explicitly told I could get away with doing nothing for 12 months before I’d get fired. I decided to quit instead.
- devnullbrain 3y agoEither I've read a blog post you've written before or this is a common occurrence.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoYeah my blog post hit the front page.
- VirusNewbie 3y agoYES! One of the reasons I much prefer the netflix model of firing quickly and being able to get a headcount. You do have some slackers at google who are able to hang on for long periods of time because their manager knows the project they're in charge of isn't a priority anymore, so the backfill will go to more exciting/new projects. So these managers will let people slack. Most of the people I work with at Google work fairly hard in cloud (nothing crazy like I've heard about AWS) but you run into slackers on occasion.
