You can't call it a culture difference even if you get along well.

• There's a community manager-like Mr. P and Mr. Q.
  • Each manages a different Community C1 and C2
• Mr. R is there, and he is good friends with Mr. P and Mr. Q.
• Mr. P frequently calls Mr. R in community C1
• Mr. Q only rarely calls Mr. R to community C2.

「 self-inflicted alienation 」

• This was a story about Mr. S and Mr. T, and Mr. T was not invited to the community C3 involving Mr. S.
• At this time, Ms. S thought that she could not call Mr. T because of his behavior problems.

In this case, Mr. P and Mr. Q have different decisions on whether to call Mr. R or not.

• Why is this?
• Hypothesis: Mr. R is culture fit with C1, but not with C2.
• Even if you are close, you can't call them if your culture is different.
  • Because the question is not whether Q and R get along, but whether C2 and R are a culture fit

The connection to the concept of culture fit made it possible to think of this event in the metaphor of corporate recruitment

• Mr. Q sometimes calls Mr. R when there is a role where "Mr. R's behavior" fits in.
  • That is to say, it's "outsourcing" where you hire someone who has the ability to do the job when it needs to be done, for a short period of time.
    • Isn't this "job-based employment"?
• In retrospect, the need for culture fit is tightly coupled with membership-based employment.

[Difference between "temporary" and "permanent

• People who are always there create the culture.
