I think it's always good to be traumatized by an experience in a crappy company at the start of your career. It gets it ouf the way, it makes you understand how terrible management can ruin pretty much anything, and it's better to have those realizations at 22 than at 45 :)
Good luck, and keep us posted about your startup adventures!
- zinssmeister 15y agoso true.
- evck 15y agoYeah, I'd chalk this up to poor management. Any manager who doesn't listen to "hey, you have a serious problem here" isn't doing their job.
- DanLivesHere 15y agoGood managers realize that it's their job to make those people reporting to them happy. Bad managers believe that it's their job to make the people they report to happy. There are many more bad managers than good ones.
