> I don't get it. How long can you fool anyone with this? A couple of days at most?
I have (briefly) worked with a few people like this in the past. There is no clever long-term plan to it, they are persistent "excuse makers". If a problem, like employees complaining about not being paid, comes up, they will find the quickest way to solve it for today by making up a new excuse.
And in their mind, they aren't even doing anything wrong - they honestly believe that the big sale or investment round will definitely close any day now, and they are just "motivating" the team to get through a slump.
- athenot 9y agoI can confirm this type of personality exists: got to work with someone like that. They are in perpetual denial about the real state of their company and tend to surround themselves with "advisors" that will only say what they want to hear.
- blazespin 9y agoThere's a lot of resurrection stories floating around about startups. Apparently, these things actually happen.
