No, if you have problems with upper management, you should do something about it, but nobody owes their management a discussion about it. If leadership doesn't know how to build a healthy work environment, then people will decide for themselves whether to "manage up" to try to correct it, or to just step out of that environment in whatever way works for them. That doesn't always mean quitting - I personally try to just change my job role and find that I often can adjust the work to avoid the toxic leaders. But if that cannot be done, leaving the job is a reasonable action. And "as a Founder", if you think your staff is obligated to pull you out of any holes you dig, you are going to be in for a surprise when you find out just how many people are happy to let toxic leaders fail.
