If you've worked in a company for a long time, there's a mythology that you know by heart, you don't need to look it up to evoke. It's there in your blood, as it were.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A soul-based workplace asks things of me that I didn't even know I had. It's constantly telling me that I belong to something large in the world.
Companies often become victims of their own mythologies.
It's not just in my industry... everything is so sensationalized that there's not a lot of heart and soul in a lot of things there used to be heart and soul in.
A sure sign of a soul-based workplace is excitement, enthusiasm, real passion; not manufactured passion, but real involvement. And there's very little fear.
You can tell a lot about a person by the people who work for them.
Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There's a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn't exist.
I'm not sure a lot of companies know their story, or can explain why they exist and who they are, without just spewing just corporate speech.
I don't know if a company can have a soul, but I like to think it can.
When you are not part of an industry, your knowledge of that field is based on what you read and hear and on the stereotypes that are attached to it.
There's so much happenstance, so many accidents - stumbling into something and finding it interesting and living with it over time and building on it. It's okay to work from doubt. You need to be willing to not know.
