The word "culture" doesn't mean the same thing in "bro culture" vs. "culture fit".
To me, "culture fit" is another way of saying "chemistry". It means that people work well together, and is what you want if you are forming a band, say, or any other creative endeavour.
- timr 13y agoThe problem with that, of course, is that "chemistry" is just another way of saying "people I'm comfortable around", which is a socially acceptable way of discriminating against people who don't make you comfortable -- usually defined as "people who are different than you". And so it goes.
- gruseom 13y agoOne hears that argument, but I think it's shallow. People aren't cogs—some work better together than others. It isn't just about who you're comfortable around. Lou Reed and John Cale, for example, were not comfortable around each other. That's why I said "work well together": the work is what matters, not comfort.
