This is a very naive analysis. It defines toxicity as propensity to be fired, only looks at big corporations, and uses self-reports in interview tests (like paper tests) as the independent variable.<p>I suppose the reason this piece strikes this community as so silly is that the general philosophy of the startup is that a group of 5 or 10 people can best multi-million dollar corporations because corporations are so inefficient. To turn to such a company&#x27;s firing decisions as the source of truth of worker quality feels profoundly backward.
