Michael P Senger on Hiring

So just to clarify: I can go unvaccinated against polio, tetanus, hepatitis, measles and mumps, but if I refuse this one mRNA shot for a virus with a 0.2% IFR that doesn’t stop transmission and requires boosters every few months, I can’t go to public spaces and may lose my job?

Why it worked

Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Frames the idea around what the reader stands to lose, which is more motivating than gain.
Ends on a question, which is the most reliable way to turn readers into repliers.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt, Loss aversion
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
