If I was at a wealthy and powerful self organizing company with all the things I now know, I would have to immediately start a team and grow it then attack some important problem. You can organically do that at a self-organizing firm. You can't just do that at a hierarchical firm
Mass purges happen regularly. Why? What if there was no bonus incentive system? What is the cause behind all this madness?
-
-
The firm has such easy access to new hires that it’s easy to fill the hiring funnel. Hundreds of candidates show up at conferences to apply. So employees are viewed as expendable as the firm “searches” for desirable self-organized workers.
-
I do believe that sometimes the corporate arm can overreact to minor issues and then purges erupt. The corporate arm can underestimate how much damage this does.
-
In a growth period workers are expendable and purges occur as the firm grows. During periods of stability I suspect purges occur less often.
-
I don’t believe bonuses cause purges, but they do massively distort the organization in other ways.
-
So growing self-organized companies with easy access to new hires can be unstable places. The firm is looking for the right people and employment is more like an extended interview.
-
Another explanation is that corporate arm workers can become power mad and just fire people they dislike. (After all, they are instantly replaceable.)
-
But this alternative “power mad” explanation doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s dumb. Why would you make your super valuable tech workers nervous unproductive wrecks?
-
These are my theories. I know that “The List” gets sent around before a purge and key Barons/Sponsors can add names of folks to be fired. If their purge immunity is too low they’re gone. But what triggers a purge is a mystery to me.
