After the relevations about Elm's dysfunctional leadership culture[1] I have seen vocal discouragement about investing in Elm, and reasonably so. This is a culture where Elm's leaders actively attempt to shut down criticism as "emotional violence"[2], which is just incredibly immature hyperbole. I couldn't imagine investing the future of my job and workplace on an operation like this.

- StefanWestfal 5y agoI had a similar line of thought in the beginning too. If you google Elm these issues pop up. However after some time posts about it lead back a very limited set of occasions and block posts. Which are either criticizing the leadership style or a few events. I view the leadership as a trade off which ensures a high level and guarantees for the core at the cost of a high barrier. For the fee events, I think we are all humans and make mistakes and usually it is a miss communication between two parts more then a real issue.
