Episode notes

It's not the perk that someone can go work on a side project that makes a bad employee. I think it's within these larger mega structures where people have tons of benefits It's kind of hard to fire them And they've gotten used to a company providing probably more than we should expect from a company. You end up with quote-unquote abusers of the system and all these parodies on tiktok Which have people showing their day which is just eating food and relaxing and having a good time But yeah, I think in my experience the people who abuse the system are often the minority.

It's human nature to worry about the things that can go wrong.

But often overlooked is the mentality of attraction instead of detraction, or in other words focusing on what you can bring to the table instead of what you can prevent from happening.

While so many companies signal they want entrepreneurial candidates yet don't allow side projects, want out of the box thinkers yet expect them to work in a box (office), and vow they only hire top talent yet pay below market rate... there's power in thinking through whether you're truly focusing on attracting the right people or just trying to prevent wrong behavior.

In this episode, Steph and Cal discuss the mentality of being a magnet instead of a jail, originally inspired by this tweet of Steph's.
