- karlkatzke 11y agoI left it open-ended, actually. I talked to the CDO and explained why I was leaving. He agreed with the decision and thanked me for being brave enough to stand up and say it. It ended up being three weeks before we agreed that I'd successfully handed off everything. No bad feelings either way -- I'd joined the company because they had said that they wanted to 'grow up,' but that was a feeling percolating up from below. The lower levels of the company wanted to grow up and stop firefighting all the time. The top levels of the company would fight you every last way.
- cballard 11y agoThat's still pretty good for a company you thought was (somewhat?) dysfunctional!
- x0x0 11y agoWow have I ever been there, done that at a startup you've heard of. Line level employees hated the endless firefighting; the ceo/cto didn't give a shit and stymied any change. My solution was to forfeit any ops duty at all. I told my boss she had two choices: I didn't work on ops or I didn't work there at all.
- kyllo 11y agoSo what did your boss say to that? Guessing the latter, because it sounds like you don't work there anymore...
