Summary
THE HARD THING ABOUT HARD THINGSA Good Place to WorkWhen
things go well, the reasons to stay at a company are many Your career path is wide open because as the company grows, lots of interesting jobs naturally open up Your friends and family think you area genius for choosing to work at the it company before anyone else knew it was it Your resume gets stronger by working at a blue-chip
company in its heyday Oh, and you are getting rich.
When things go poorly, all those reasons become reasons to leave. In fact, the only thing that keeps an employee at a company when things go horribly wrong –– other than needing a job –– is that she likes her job. Things always go wrong. There has never been a company in the history of the world that had a monotonously increasing stock price.
In bad companies, when the economics disappear, so do the employees. Being a good company doesn’t
matter when things go well, but it can be the difference between life and death when things go wrong. If you do nothing else, build a good company.
