You're the one saying employees need to care about the product and team, and disparaging people who just want a paycheck.

People going on about cultural fit and missions -- while, of course, having a problem hiring -- make me literally laugh out loud.

I'd rather be an itinerant snow bum, personally.

I value coworkers whose company I enjoy and who genuinely care about making customers happy. There's a wide spectrum between detached paycheck collector and over-invested lifer that fails to notice anything outside of work. I have nothing against people on either end, it's just not the kind of work environment I'm looking for.

I don't think culture has been a major issue for us when hiring. I merely brought it up as a counterpoint to the "just raise the salary" argument which strikes me as disingenuous.
