I can see why the poster's use of the word "disrespectful" might make you wonder about that, but the full context seems to make it clear that it's not a question of ego. "Presumptuous" might have been a better choice of words for the BIG red flag raised by the "friend's" action.
- brudgers 4y agoI feel this is disrespectful. He just cannot write CEO without asking me first. This shows a lack of respect Maybe that’s not ego, but it will do until ego shows up. There’s nothing wrong with ego motivating a course of action. The problem is not recognizing that’s what is motivating the course of action. YMMV.
- debuggerpk 4y agoThank you for the reminder to keep the ego in check.
- debuggerpk 4y agoI do not see myself as a CEO in the long run. But at the same time, I have spent a good part of the year validating this and have put in my savings in it. PS: I am working on this full time. I do not mind sharing as well. The general advice I get is, cofounder is a forward looking role and equity should be forward looking. But that conversation needs to happen first.
