Am I missing something - what's with the "tribe" terminology?
- singleshot_ 5mo agoIt’s a way of signaling to new hires that your culture is all messed up, similar to having a cutesy name for employees.
- stackskipton 5mo agoIt's part of Spotify model, here is a blog article explaining it: https://www.atlassian.com/agile/agile-at-scale/spotify https://www.atlassian.com/agile/agile-at-scale/spotify EDIT: Just like Agile, it's poorly implemented at most companies and can lead to a ton of fighting due to multiple reporting arrows coming off employees.
- recursivecaveat 5mo agoMy immediate assocation with the term would be 'tribalism' so a lot of in-fighting seems on-brand.
- nate8bit 5mo agoThanks!
- andyjohnson0 5mo agoI once interviewed with a company that organised their people into four "tribes". The company culture was pretty odd, and I fortunately managed to bomb the in-person interview. Now I know where they got the idea from.
- nate8bit 5mo agoYea, it's a very odd way of referring to people you work with.
