>"Susan Stick, another recent hire (June 2018) who is the company’s general counsel — a role that appeared to be vacant for two years before she joined — is expanding her role to include people operations as well." So they have a lawyer being asked to take on what are essentially HR duties? If that's not the sign of a sinking ship I don't know what is. I wouldn't expect that individual to be there for much longer either. Also "People Operations" is a load of shit, another Silicon Valley invention that seemingly all startups now feel compelled to have. I've had a few People Operations departments in jobs past and their duties largely consisted of brining the credit card to company "drink ups" and ordering dart boards and ping pong equipment for the office. The bar for this role is even lower than that of regular HR.
