635 - Is This Person Going to Ruin Everything?
Manage episode 407761834 series 2927782
John and Craig wring their hands and ask, how do you make sure the person you’re hiring isn’t a monster? They look at best practices for vetting colleagues, sussing out problematic people, and managing your own emotions when you’re the person with power.
We also discuss writing for non-native English speakers, using three examples to illustrate the importance of syntax, musicality and authenticity. But first, we answer listener questions on giving notes and kids playing D&D.
In our bonus segment for premium members, we spill the kool-aid on our fears and fascinations with cults.
