The company has erred in not giving their employees a better way to express themselves and be heard in the first place. It's not like these people would walk out if an email would make their point just as well. Incidentally paid sick l

A small agile company could hire undervalued people who don't do well in traditional interviews and clean up, if they didn't cargo cult programming interviews. See these make a bit of sense for huge companies that have to filter m

I recall an NPR story that touched on costco (I think it was a how I built this episode on trampolines, but I'm not certain). When they pick a company to work with, they apparently send people in not just to inspect them for quality,
