You Can't Fire Your Way to an IPO
You Can't Fire Your Way to an IPO
The technology is brilliant and has the power to transform most organizations. By the end of the decade, most companies will have Trino in-house.
That creates a lot of growth. There is a ton of enablement available. I was given awards for my performance and had multiple large commissions.
They can't stop firing managers. I've worked at other tech but have never seen firings like at Starburst. It is impossible to settle down & execute because someone is being fired somewhere. The West Region was still fairly new but they gutted all managers which then caused most IC's to quit too. The chronic firings create a Hunger Games style attitude amongst staff with next level politics, toxicity & negativity.
