Crap happens on any job but having been in the industry 25 years i can say that poor tteatment of people is often the norm. Everybody in the startup arena is bing pushed to the wall in terms of hours so you see more negative behavior because youre often dealing with sleep deprived people who are making poir choices based on lack of sleep etc.... The competition in the industry is so vicioys a job can often feel like being a contestant on Game of Thrones. But the bottom line is the way many startups are run leads to poor decision making poor treatment of people and ultimately failure for the business. These arent sucessful activities this kind of abuse you document is really the result if poor structuring. A startup is like a boat if its poorly structured it will fall apart in the most vicious way wjen you start hitting stormy seas.
