Description
You can be right and still lose your job. Over fifteen years, Mary Carns kept ending up on the outside of companies that said they valued insight. The issue wasn't performance or effort. It was being the person who notices what's broken in systems that depend on not noticing. Bad Fit traces what it costs to say what you see, and what it costs not to. If you've ever left a job after doing exactly what you were hired to do, this will feel familiar.
