I don't understand this blog post at all. It seems to only show the very tip of the situation because, based on the text alone, the story/situation doesn't add up. Especially the part where he says he was doing everything perfectly for the week, yet everyone still wanted him gone. It seems like there was a much deeper personality conflict or something we aren't seeing. Maybe this is my fault, but unfortunately, it also makes the lesson/point a lot weaker and more muddy.
Seriously one of the more confusing blog posts I've ever read.
- amark 12y agoIt's extremely difficult to re-gain respect once it's lost. That's just how people are. We form an opinion on somebody, and then look for reasons to justify that opinion, not challenge that opinion. Also, group/team dynamics are usually influenced by the most vocal. If there was a previous serious conflict with 1 or 2 team members, it's possible they continued to poison the discourse, even when the management quality improved for that week.
- GuiA 12y agoI think he basically got fired and then wrote a blog post about it to make it sound like it was his decision.
- colinbartlett 12y agoI never understand the value of these defensive posts. It may be cathartic, but you're far better off just silently moving on rather than making a big stink out of such a transition.
