Toxic Culture
Toxic Culture
The people you’ll work with are the smartest anywhere.
The problems are genuinely interesting to work on.
-leadership is toxic and burns strong performers out. If you’re good at what you do, they’ll work you non-stop. -no sense of sustainable culture, organizational development, or general respect for people’s time from leadership. -safety is marginalized in favor of moving fast, which is super dangerous given the product. -the culture of work is now “always on”, you’re expected to be ready to attend early morning meetings (even on the weekend) and work around the clock.
Get rid of the 8:30 meeting. It doesn’t empower people it punishes them. Slow down by 25%. Take culture and burnout seriously instead of valorizing “hero” contributors who work around the clock.
