Usually people higher up in the hierarchy are by definition valued more than grunt-level workers. So OP should assume she is at the bottom of the ladder and importance. Founders could be good friends with the team lead and completely biased towards her opinion.
- gerbilly 7y agoI would recommend against assuming anything. It's a start up not IBM, things are more fluid. I've used this strategy before in real life, more than once and it resolved the issue 50% of the time. If it doesn't resolve the issue for the OP, all he does is quit. He was going to anyway. You can't be afraid to tackle these issues head on. There's no need to be afraid to talk to people. Do you think the founders just ignored the VCs and didn't negotiate with them for the best deal they could get? That they don't negotiate with their customers?
