I liked what Lawrence Krubner wrote:  \"Some managers are egotists. Just like me, they can look around the table and see who is daydreaming. I’ve known many managers who feel that if an employee daydreams, then the employee is to blame for inattentiveness. But I would flip that. If you need to be sure that a specific worker understands a specific task, then have a one-on-one meeting with them. If you are disbursing general information to the whole team, send an email. If you frequently monopolize the attention of employees who don’t truly need to hear what you are saying, then you have bad managerial habits — the good news is that you now know what you need to do to become a better manager.\"",6,{"listName":6,"listNumber":7,"listDate":8,"cardDate":34,"label":27,"title":35,"url":36,"domain":22,"summary":37,"timeToRead":38},1514560047,"Since It Happened Almost a Decade Ago and Most of My Followers Probably Don't Know the Story: Here's How I Got Rejected by Google Back in 2008 (Thread)","https:\u002F\u002Ftwitter.com\u002Fmjg59\u002Fstatus\u002F944321622915371008","Matthew Garrett (bravely!) shares his interviewing process at Google almost 10 years ago, and his takeaways on why culture fit is so important: \"If I'd been hired I'd have continued making that argument, and I'd have disrupted a product that was close to shipping.
