014: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Culture Crush Business Podcast

This match was like pairing great wines. We love when we have a company that has a great culture paired with a company that supports great culture. This show was just that perfect match for the Culture Crush Business Podcast.

Kelle and David both bring so much knowledge and expertise to the discussion around company culture. This fluid conversation took us in the direction of discussing companies with unhealthy company culture, how to deal with companies that do not have a good culture, and how to support others in leaving those companies in their search for a company with a great culture.

We live in a time where there is no need to stay stuck with a company that has an unhealthy culture. Companies are hiring everywhere and many of those companies are ones with great company culture. The consensus in the discussion was to encourage people to find the best fit for them, especially if it means leaving and finding a position somewhere else.

Although we discussed many situations of companies with unhealthy culture and what to do, we also discussed that there are companies with a great company culture that still might not be the right fit. If you are a person that likes flexibility then it would not make sense for you to work at a company that is very strict. If you are not an outdoors type of person then it would not make sense for you to work for a company that has a strong culture that focuses on being outdoors. Finding the right company is like finding the right soulmate online on a dating app.

This conversation is yet another one that we will have to plan on doing a part two in the future. Listen to this podcast:

• If you are working for a company that has a good culture but is wanting to grow it better
• If you are working for a company with an unhealthy culture
• If you are thinking of leaving your company for a company with a better company culture
• If you are interviewing for a new position with a different company and are trying to find the right fit
• If you are wanting to learn more about company culture and resources to support you in this journey
