Smart Team, Toxic Leadership
- Smart people
- Interesting problems to work on
The leadership and employee relationship is broken; the SLT treats employees very poorly. Tobi tornadoes are common, where the CEO comes in and totally changes the project direction on a whim. There's a poor work-life balance. Unless you are working on what management thinks is important at that time, you will be considered as someone working on “side quests”.
- Treat employees better.
- Listen to employee feedback.
- Leadership does random things just to show their importance, e.g., taking away meetings, replacing Slack with Workplace, and ShopifyOS.
