Stagnant Growth, Toxic Management
Stagnant Growth, Toxic Management
Employee signals help to remove toxic managers.
No growth, no learning, monolithic repos, boring inefficient work because of over-security (lockbox requirements). Most employees are forced to leave after 4+ years as their on-hire stock grant becomes zero.
Older employees (10+ years at Microsoft) control most of the company. They think about their own job security and growth and create competition among others.
