You can go an entire career without seeing how a functional company works.
- throwawaymaths 1y agoalso helpful to see a dysfunctional company (or four) to cover your bases on shitty management practices
- gkoberger 1y agoGreat, then at least you can see what you don't like! (But really, I intentionally said a company you want to emulate, because I do agree – no point in taking this advice if you go to a bad company)
- cultofmetatron 1y ago> You can go an entire career without seeing how a functional company works. having worked at a few dysfunctional companies, there's value in it. you learn to spot red flag decisions and the kinds of people that tend to cause organizations to explode from within. a Lot of the success at my current company can be attributed to decisions I've made that came from experience at failed startups where we did the opposite.
- htrp 1y agoExactly! being able to recognize the wrong thing is just as valuable as recognizing the right thing
