Great quote that managers need to hear, but will ignore:
> It assumes the problem to be solved is attracting the “right” worker, which is the wrong question. Google found that, as a result of its study, it was much easier and more effective to help underperforming managers improve rather than hiring new people. The problem, in other words, is not hiring more loyal workers, but fixing bad leaders.
Sometimes I think I would like that because explaining your competency to non-tech workers is difficult. But both these companies seem to work on questionable products and should not be trusted with any data.
