said she once worked with a person who ran such a “volatile, hostile set,” it made her “physically ill.”, McCarthy didn’t name any names, or drop any hints, but vividly recalled the grueling experience of working for this person. “My eyes were swelling up, I was absorbing all of this nuttiness,” she said. “There are people weeping, visibly so upset by this one person.”
The worst part of it, McCarthy, said, was the way this person succesfully manipulated her and others: “To get to me, this person would fire people I loved, which kept me quiet. It was very effective. Then one day, I was like, ‘It stops today!’ I just kept saying to them, it stops, it stops. And I know now I’ll never keep quiet again.”
McCarthy added that she and her husband/collaborator have a process in place to ensure such people don’t end up working on the projects they spearhead together. When vetting potential hires, McCarthy said they perform a “crazy check” to ensure the candidate is actually nice. As she put it: “You know, we were so astounded and grateful at getting to build our own little worlds, we were like, ‘We have to build the one we’ve always talked about, where everybody gets to have an opinion and everyone is really nice. It’s going to run a lot better with no screamers or crazy egos bumbling around. Why would we risk destroying that?’”
