Fit Happens (Except When It Doesn’t)
“Culture fit” comes up in hiring conversations all the time. It sounds like a good thing—who doesn’t want someone who fits in with the team? But when it’s left undefined, “culture fit” becomes a catch-all for bias. It’s not about whether someone can do the job. It’s about whether they make the interviewer feel comfortable. And comfort is deeply subjective. It’s shaped by our own experiences, assumptions, and even unspoken preferences.
Why I’m writing again
Apparently, the last time I blogged regularly (at least here) was in 2010. Since then, I’ve led big projects, taken a few career detours, raised kids, managed teams, launched campaigns, and kept learning along the way. I didn’t stop thinking about the work. I just stopped writing about it here.
