Please don't do this.

I've known a number of great people who have at one point in their life had a string of bad luck due to bad people, and do you know what's the worst, most assholish thing you can say to someone who's in such a fragile state? "Could the problem be you?"

Tech is one of those places that have an unstable enough common culture as to attract every yabo with a theory of management. So you end up with many shitty cultures, where shitty people thrive (and the odd gem).

"Management" is a dirty word in this industry, and the answer most people give is "Oh, we're a flat organization" or "Oh, we run like a family" etc, which just hides the hierarchies and fosters dysfunction. The industry really has a big problem, and strings of bad employment experiences are a symptom.

Thanks for saying this, it's more common to have a string of bad luck than a lot of people think.

Not disagreeing with your statement but we do attach this stigma when people are dating and finding partners.

If the people you pick keeping treating you like shit, maybe you are picking the wrong people, in that case maybe it is you.

I like this approach better because it creates more agency vs just other things happening TO you.
