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:"A single toxic employee who is a bad fit for the existing culture can tank the morale and productivity of an entire team. "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.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_No_Asshole_Rule
