Hey, I worked for this moron and left because of these moronic statements.

Absolutely mind boggling that this company is “run on data” yet there’s no data besides anecdotes to support this backwards idea.

To make it even funnier, here’s an Amazon Director apologizing on LinkedIn because they thought forcing people to come into an office was the right thing to do.

Compromise is the moment a group has given up on finding the best solution

What a toxic and zero-sum viewpoint. What a stark admission that someone is unable to be willing to consider the possibility that someone else might be right, or at least partially right. If this philosophy was prevalent at Microsoft in 2010+, it would explain a number of Microsoft corporate decisions. Putting a smartphone touchscreen UI on a computer server product (Windows 2012) being just one obvious example.

Strongly agree. If anything, compromise is necessary for finding the best solution for everyone, especially as we're all different.

That manager thinking that compromise is "giving up" needs to get out of the selfish delusion and come back to reality. Feel sorry for the subordinates!

The reasons to be accepted for a mid-level and above management position have long stopped including "being a leader".
