Ben Horowitz wrote this culture doc for that ever new hire has to literally sign onto. It’s a values document that I think everyone reading this would be familiar with, only amped up to the point where some of us might reasonably say is too much 🤣. Main point is though, is that these documents exist and ..are they valuable? Does your company have one, who wrote it, who polices it?
