These kinds of articles always seem to get a lot of comments, and so many hiring processes seem to miss the mark. If the criteria that you use for engineering hires has nearly 0 overlap with the criteria that you use…
Unless you know, with certainty, who is responsible for customer-facing communications , how can you publicly call on a specific person to be fired? Even if you did know, and are correct in your implication, how do you…
