A wise woman once said- “no career has ever been made at a corporate event, but many a career has been lost…”
So what happens when a brand-new hire dazzles and then detonates before Day 1 even arrives? And how do you handle an HR crusade that suddenly outlaws every hug, even though it’s part of company culture?
This week, game-industry insider Andrew K. joins us to discuss these “too much, too soon” scenarios. We tease out where the line between healthy enthusiasm and instant career suicide really lies, and Andrew shares the playbook he’d use as a manager:
- spotting the red flags before an off-site implodes,
- salvaging culture without swinging the policy hammer, and
- coaching teams to read the room, without killing the vibe.
