Throwaway acct for obvious reasons I worked at The Boring Company at a relatively high ranking role. I stayed as long as I did because I loved the challenge - deadlines are crazy, and its a high stress high reward environment. Until the work started impacting my personal life, I didn't really have a problem with it. Steve Davis is a micromanager to the extreme, which is one of the worst parts of the job. If you perform well in the environment, you're rewarded for it by getting less oversight by Steve. It's an incentive to stick with the company. In addition, my ISO package was very handsome. I left due to the previously mentioned personal life impacts, and the increasing political bias of the company. I'm relatively left leaning, and prior to the election, Elon visited and stated that it was crucial that Trump won to secure the future of the company for deregulation. Steve Davis also kept leaning onto this in our all hands. All in all, it just became too much for me.
