Thanks.
Yeah, every person is a ... person ... with agency, self-awareness, and personality. HR loves to think of "cookie-cutter" people, but they don't actually exist, so HR often does more harm, than good.
As a manager, one of my most important skills, was finding out what was important to each of my employees, as that informed how I motivated or corrected them.
So let me provide my own:
The Dirty Dancer: Nobody puts this baby in a corner, but they'll sure as hell pigeon hole everybody else! Concerned mainly with surface level attributes, they will do their best to find a box to put you and--most importantly--keep you in.
To this leader you are not a person, but an SCP awaiting containment. Avoid.
When people started using this instead of "people" or "employees" I know it's over.
Normal people are imperfect and instead of trying to kick them in the arse to try and make homogeneous things, one should work out how to use their strengths.
Actual problem employees are the ones who don't care about the job or other people and nothing works on them.
