Interesting story.
My friend started multiple companies and likewise got completely fed up with “people problems.” Non-stop bickering , complaining and infighting. He decided to get out of anything involving dealing with people and focus on cryptocurrencies.
Likewise, I had my run at management and saw how my best intentions and positive support for growth in others inevitably blew up in my face. Even people who “have everything” at work may have problems outside of work they bring to the job. And now those problems are YOUR problems.
There is a story arc for peoples careers in a company. They can start off doing great but then everything settles into an equilibrium where people just passively hate each other or are bored.
I think the only solution is to keep them busy and distracted by constantly stirring the pot and bringing in outside influence.
I think honestly you might just be rediscovering what many serial entrepreneurs seem to know: Start a business and flip it and get out, move on to the next thing.
Corporations are artificial tribes, and are unstable because these are people who are forced to hang out with each other because they are getting paid.
Would your employees hang out if they weren’t getting paid? Probably not. There is a time limit for how long people will tolerate that. Better to sell the company and let them move on.
