When I bought it they didn’t have a ton of options and this one looked exactly like the Varidesk, but the Varidesk was like $600. I mean it’s a desk and it goes up and down reliably. It looks nice and is pretty spacious.

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads. When ever I try to build a strategy, they (founders) swamp me with blablabla stories and not a single action plan. Is this the usual at startups? Also,no real company culture. At all. No HR. I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia
