Founder & CEO of Scale Systems - ... Visit my website 1w • I became best friends with my employee. It was the worst decision I ever made. - 3 years working together. - - - 2 months traveling. - A true friendship. I had to fire her. And it destroyed our friendship. Here's what I've learned: - Tough decisions are part of leadership. - Friendships can distort your decision making. - What's best for business isn't always easy personally. I no longer make friends with my employees. Instead, I empower them to make friends with each other. Have you ever had to fire a friend? P.S. Repost this to help another leader.

STOP SPAMMING US WITH RESUMES! obue. County THEN STOP POSTING FAKE JOBS! HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT THE MARKET IS LIKE IF WE DON'T POST FAKE JOBS?
Joseph Jewell • 2nd + Follow Recruiter that Codes 5d. Pro tip: Thank you notes are a thing of the past. You can't send a thank you note and expect it to change the outcome of an interview. If you want to set yourself apart in this market, you have to do more than that. If you want to truly stand out, truly be unforgettable... send a ransom note. Make sure it's hand written(by the person you have temporarily acquired possession of) and have it delivered via certified mail, requiring a signature. Boom, immediate feedback.

Coltin Caverhill • 3rd+ Engineering Manager at Yelp 4d. • + Follow Managers, be very careful what you say to your engineers! I commented in a slack thread. It was a simple comment of "I wish we had feature X". I thought I was being fun. I thought it would get emoji responses and we would move on. The engineers solved it. Do you know how much we pay Software Engineers!? I did not mean for them to work on this thing and solve my issue. But they wanted to make things better, and if the manager points out an issue, they felt like it should be solved. This was not a big deal, and not a ton of time was spent, but it was a good reminder for me that I am not an engineer, I am a manager. And while that title is mostly meaningless to me, it means something to others. What I say magically holds more gravity not because of the merit of the statement, because of the title I hold. By not being mindful about what I share in our public channels, I led my team to spend time on the wrong thing. CO 2,345 297 comments • 52 reposts
