  It gets worse actually. The CEO thought he could sell his email campaign design services to our customers, and convinced one to buy some from him. So he hired another two full time designers, and then never managed to sell the service again. For a year after that we got 3-5 internal news letters per week, each with extensive bespoke illustrations, until one day we were back to having 0 full time designers.

    Holy shit that's crazy lol. What's really sad is the designers were most likely trying hard and greatly wanted to succeed, but one day the CEO realized just how unprofitable his decision n months ago was and summarily corrected his mistake.

      Not to mention said designers probably had no chance for advancement and unless they learned on the job, they actually lost time to advance their own careers in places where their talent matters.
