Ask HN: What does culture mean in tech companies?
There has been discussion on how to shape culture within companies, how to redefine it, how to not lose culture etc. My question is what does culture mean in tech companies?
Now in most culture-obsessed companies this is not how it works, instead you are being gaslighted into sacrificing yourself for the company.
- Boot on the ground doing the most work getting rewarded with the most labor
- Promotions are used strategically to entice people into toxic assignments nobody else wants or to appease flight risks
What gets rewarded and what gets punished?
That will clearly define what the company culture is.
