The author also touches on the ethical questions raised by the "revolving door" phenomenon in the public sector, where regulators may join the industries they were supposed to regulate. However, they emphasize that the term can also simply refer to the movement of people between the public and private sectors, and that this can have less negative connotations.
Key takeaways:
- People moving on to new jobs is not a bad thing and can be encouraged by employers, as seen with the formation of new entities like Kyutai.
- The term 'revolving doors' can refer to people moving between the public and private sectors, or to an organization that people tend to enter and leave very quickly.
- In the startup world, being a revolving-door workplace is part of the game and tenure is not really a thing.
- Knowing that people can move on to other jobs on all sides of the problem they have been tackling can be a good thing and a form of career security when tech jobs don't offer job security.
