No offense, but I think this is their strategy for that:
3. Get rid of assholes. Zappos has a filtering system before, during, and after hiring to make sure they get rid of people who “don’t fit the culture.” That is the nice way of saying they get rid of assholes and they get rid of them quickly. They even pay candidates $2,000 after they go through training if they can admit they don’t fit into the culture.

- gnaritas 18y agoNo, they're saying people who don't fit into that culture, having only invested a few weeks of training, tend to take the money and run leaving only those who actually fit into that crazy happy culture.
