Call it what it is: your intellectual laziness in evaluating people and your own bias towards “winners.”
Regression to the mean is very real. I doubt an org of sufficient size can truly beat it, if only because not every employee can do well in every situation/project, regardless of their skill level.
- nine_zeros 2y agoIt absolutely is intellectual laziness. There is zero attempt by hiring management to improve their own quality. They use bottom of the barrel practices for hiring (such as leetcode), practices for collaboration (stack ranking), for distribution of rewards (skimping on existing employees in favor of hiring more headcount), and generally incapable of creating and sharing solid visions and giving people the resources to get them to fruition (Sitting back after OKRs are decided out of thin air, never truly explaining why something is important and never really supporting their reports to achieve those goals).
