Schimmy's Hierarchy of Jobs and how to tell if a company is faking the mission
- schimmy_changa 12y agoDoes pure scientific discovery count, given that it can be used for evil? I think no, but on the other hand the internet that I'm typing this on was partially created with defense industry funds....
- schimmy_changa 12y agoalso the facebook mission - "to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected". Is that enough?
- maerF0x0 12y agoFor me mission is more important than perks. Catered lunches are great, until you've had the same thing 10x and really its a convenience factor. The kinds of things that make me excited to keep pushing, even when I'm tired, are more around making the world a better place. Sometimes its selfish, when the world is better, I get to enjoy it (so long as I'm alive). Why do you put perks 2nd? Re: science. I think knowledge is benign and humans are not. Its not what we know but how we use it.. Spideman quote and all.
- schimmy_changa 12y agoI put perks 2nd as I think about it myself as more a progression up the pyramid... Ah well, at least the outcome of being selfish ends up with a good result!
- jarajapu 12y agomission, scale and perks go hand in hand now-a-days. Be it saving the world or serving the world, scale matters these days as much as mission & perks. In some sense, it is a testament to how much people use and love a product/service.
