What Companies Mean by Culture Fit
I'm in agreement with other commenters here that "culture fit" usually feels like a euphemism for something else. I think what it's really about is explained here in the article:<p>"A single toxic employee who is a bad fit for the existing culture can tank the morale and productivity of an entire team. "<p>So, is there really more to "culture fit" than the No Asshole Rule (1)? If not, can we start calling it what it is: "asshole rejection screening". Then maybe we can use the word "culture fit" less (maybe even "culture" less), because requiring new employees to "fit a culture" is pretty lacking in concrete justification.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_No_Asshole_Rule" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_No_Asshole_Rule</a>
