Work directly with C-suite executives!” sounds prestigious, but it usually means zero buffer from micromanagers and constant second-guessing. High visibility: resume booster or nonstop pressure cooker?

Resume booster for sure but for what? Just to work with more C executive? Nah. No thank you.

More visibility to set you up for a bigger promotion in future, maybe?

In my experience, it is both. High visibility can accelerate growth, but only if boundaries exist. Without them, it becomes constant pressure with little protection.

Having worked at multiple startups where I was always directly under the C-suite, I can tell you that they are almost always a mess. It was daily attempts of them trying to derail projects for their exciting new idea.

Been with my current company 5 years now. I run my own team but have a micromanaging boss who likes to create chaos for me. He also exhibits stalker like behavior by looking up my family online (addresses, emails, phone numbers, FB/Twitter accounts, you name it) and driving by my house and commenting on things I was doing during the weekend or after work. I am fed up with it and am starting to apply elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll be able to get the same total comp though. More in comments..

My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!

And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
