Corporations Make Seemingly Weird Decisions

  • Sometimes decisions only make sense when viewed from the perspective of a large corporation
  • Patrick McKenzie is great for this
  • Google's hiring process
    • missing some good people is less harmful in the long run than getting some bad people
    • at some point(s), those people's bad choices are going to cause harm on a noticeable scale.
    • Taken to the extreme they'll create an environment that weighs down and repels the good people.
