Bullshit. Maybe this is true for like, an insanely competitive NFL team with limited slots and deep pockets, but for a growing startup, this is simply illogical. I hardly believe there's any expectation for all employees to be the best in their field. Sure, everyone wants the best.. but at the end of the day, they'll settle for pretty good. Especially if they're already hired, on-boarded, well-liked and an integral part of the company (which it sounds like OP was).
- mgkimsal 13y agoIt's all about what you're measuring too. I would wager that OP was the best business/tech domain expert for that company that one could find, simply because he was there from the beginning and had a hand in building a lot of stuff. No one else coming in is as good at knowing the history of the tech at that company. So, he was 'the best', but they didn't care about that knowledge.
