"As hard as it may be, you need to take a Confucian approach. You must consider first all of the other employees and second your friend. The good of the individual must be sacrificed for the good of the whole." Citation needed on how that is "Confucian". Early-Spockian, perhaps. Or Benthamian. On a more general note, I've seen quite a few instances where early stage companies brought in "expert" executives as replacements for founders/early employees and the "experts" really and truly fucked things up. I think more discussion is needed about deciding when and why this transition actually has to be made rather than just assuming that when you hit a certain point you need new people.
