Question for 🐠 who have worked for multiple startups. My husband and I both moved to startups in our respective industries. My company is very employee focused. My husband is just burning into his role (sub 1 month) and has noticed a lot of people in his team are let go. Enough that it caused concern immediately. Today, someone at analyst level posted an update in slack. The CEO replied and insult this person, blamed the person for the companies retention issues, and then fired them.

VERY INSANE

A lot of startup founders seem to be sociopaths or be borderline or have some other psychiatric condition. Too many people kissing up to them and not enough people calling their BS.

CEO 1, what blew me away initially was how everyone had business advice. Some were so confidently wrong that they were frothing at the mouth as they talked. I treated my team like my home base and avoided bringing any of the theatrics I was experiencing to them. I'd say I'm a bit too self actualizing to be a psychopath, but definitely an abused person in some ways!

Yes, anyone who insults ppl like that is garbage.

Yikes, wouldn’t there be an HR team there to address that sort of issue? That’s not very common (but it can happen especially among really small startups)

This is absolutely insane right? I’ve heard of some toxic startup environments… is it toxicity more commonplace than I imagined?

Yikes.
Sounds like a company culture where they don’t like to acknowledge criticism— which creates a culture of a buncha boot lickers.

Time to go, definitely
