- medellin 4y agoInteresting take. Why does anyone deserve to be treated poorly?
- ilrwbwrkhv 4y agoNot poorly. I just mean, like a cog in the machine. Expecting anything different is insanity.
- VirusNewbie 4y agoI’ve oscillated between small companies and the largest companies my whole career. While I have enjoyed both, I’ve definitely been treated better at the large companies compared to startups and family shops.
- ilrwbwrkhv 4y agoInteresting. Did you not get a better understanding of a smaller company?
- VirusNewbie 4y agoI’m not sure what you mean a better understanding? If you mean did I contribute a larger percentage of code compared to all existing code yes, I “grokked” more at the small companies, but that didn’t mean I got treated better.
- bombolo 4y agoAh yes startups are famous for good work/life balance and treating people fairly by paying with worthless shares.
- ilrwbwrkhv 4y agoNot all startups but many.
