jmScore 1 “My management culture is fucked up” point for each of the following:
We have an unlimited vacation policy;
We don’t do regular 1:1s, but we have open office hours/are super available if anyone wants to chat;
We don’t have a process for interviewing, we just hire awesome people when we meet them;
We super care about diversity, but we don’t want to lower the bar so we just hire the best person for the job even if it means diversity suffers;
We don’t have defined levels and career paths for our employees, we’re a really flat org;
We don’t have formal managers for every staff member, everyone just gets their work done;
We don’t have, like, HR HR, but our recruiter/office manager/only female employee is super good if you want someone to talk to;
We don’t do performance improvement plans for employees that are struggling. We just have a super honest conversation about how they aren’t a good fit and fire them;
We would have some hard explaining to do if our salary list accidentally became public.
