Please don't do this. I've known a number of great people who have at one point in their life had a string of bad luck due to bad people, and do you know what's the worst, most assholish thing you can say to someone who's in such a fragile state? "Could the problem be you?" Tech is one of those places that have an unstable enough common culture as to attract every yabo with a theory of management. So you end up with many shitty cultures, where shitty people thrive (and the odd gem). "Management" is a dirty word in this industry, and the answer most people give is "Oh, we're a flat organization" or "Oh, we run like a family" etc, which just hides the hierarchies and fosters dysfunction. The industry really has a big problem, and strings of bad employment experiences are a symptom.
