Culture Fit = Conform or Go

The phrase “culture fit” often masks bias. It’s used to reject people who don’t mirror the dominant behavior — louder voices, certain accents, elite degrees. It rarely measures true values or work ethic. When conformity is the standard, real inclusion suffers. What companies need is culture expansion, not just fit.
