Working Code Podcast - Episode 73: On Bad Leaders And Gaslighting Employees

By
Published in

In the 20+ years of my career, I don't remember ever seeing a person in a leadership position be fired. I've seen plenty of people leave a company to "explore other opportunities", typically accompanied by much praise and congratulations. And, I have to assume that at least some of these people were actually fired; but, were allowed to depart under friendly terms. As such, I pose this question to the crew: assuming that my assumption is valid, is suppressing this information healthy for the company (perhaps in an effort to keep morale high)? Or, is it a form of gaslighting that creates confusion and dissent within the organization?

I believe in love. I believe in compassion. I believe in human rights. I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
