Shawn is very smart and also transparent, but his overall demeanor has changed a lot over the last year. Maybe it’s due to the stress of trying to manage a fast growing company. People are overworked. Instead of hiring more people, they pile on more and more work on the existing employees until they are spread extremely thin. What used to be a more laid-back and genuine work culture, has now turned into a typical client/agency environment. The client now comes first, no matter what the cost might be. Revenue and client happiness now surpasses employee happiness/satisfaction. Things could go downhill very quickly at this rate. Employee retention used to be quite high, but now it’s began to decline.
