好公司和差公司

          引自《The hard thing about the hard things》——本·霍洛维茨

 In good organizations, people can focus on their work and have confidence that if they get their work done, good things will happen for both the company and them personally. It is a true pleasure to work in an organization such as this. Every person can wake up knowing that the work they do will be efficient, effective, and make a difference for the organization and themselves. These things make their jobs both motivating and fulfilling.

在一个好公司里，员工能集中于他们的工作，而且也明确知道自己是否完成了工作。这对于公司和他们自己都是有利的。在这样的公司里的确让人快乐。每个人清楚地知道他们要做什么，怎样有效、高效地完成工作，为公司和他们自己带来什么样的价值。这些让他们的工作很有积极性和成就感。

In a poor organization, on the other hand, people spend much of their time fighting organizational boundaries, infighting,and broken processes. They are not even clear on what their jobs are, so there is no way to know if they are getting the job done or not. In the miracle case that they work ridiculous hours and get the job done, they have no idea what it means for the company or their careers. To make it all much worse and rub salt in the wound, when they finally work up the courage to tell management how fucked-up their situation is, management denies there is a problem, then defends the status quo, then ignores the problem.

在一个差公司里， 员工花费大量的时间挑战公司的约束，陷于内斗，破坏流程，他们甚至不清楚他们的工作是什么，他们无法判断是否完成了工作。 如果好的话，他们可能花费了难以想象的时间完成了一项工作。但他们不知道完成工作对公司和自己的职业意味着什么。更雪上加霜的是，他们鼓起勇气向管理层倾诉自己工作的窘境，但是管理层却否认有问题存在，只是维持现状，忽略问题。
