Seth Bannon on Hiring

"officials describe a company that simply doesn't know how to talk to this administration." Translation: Won't make donations to curry political favors. Hires based on competency, not political party. Refuses to praise dear leader at every opportunity.

Why it worked

Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Context → Context → Landing
Style: Short lines with heavy white space, built to be scanned.
Tone: punchy
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
