I don’t know you are downvoted. Aligning the personal interest vector with the companies interest vector is a huge problem that is usually underrepresented in NH comments.
Usually we only complain about the short sighting of the CEOs that prioritize short term stock gains over long term prosperity, but that also is just a specialized case of the success vector misalignment
- nostrebored 2y agoThis is a poor way to view salaried work. If OP is meeting deliverables and did this on the side, this is a great example of a story that would make me inclined to hire.
- ckdarby 2y agoThe problem is OP didn't meet deliverables and the team was behind schedule. Helpful in the right light, but equally not helpful in another.
- shermantanktop 2y ago“Team behind schedule” usually means that some manager promised an arbitrary date based on an imaginary timeline. Every team needs slack. Bad managers hate slack. Good managers hide slack.
- noncoml 2y agoI think maybe my point was misunderstood. I was trying to say that the employee tried to do what’s good for the company. However that backfired as his personal, and his manager’s, success vector are not aligned with the company’s. Hence although he did something that benefited the company it hurt his and his manager’s performance (exactly because they are not aligned with that of the company’s). Hope it clears things up.
