This is kind of the opposite of what I've seen reported around here.
Small startups, they say, are exactly where you should work for a while in order to grow and develop a lot of new skills, which are then valuable elsewhere.
Meanwhile a number of people at large companies report being bored at work.
- o_class_star 6y agoA lot of people at large companies are bored at work because a lot of work is boring, and because corporate life sucks. If you control for age-- notice that startups tend to prey on the young-- then I don't think small company work, at the bottom, is any less boring.
