• Leadership is easily some of the worst I've seen in over a decade of working in tech. No one knows who's leading what, there's a large disconnect between the top and the bottom of the org, decisions are made in a vacuum, people are extremely slow to react, and communication is uneven/conflicting/inconsistent. And oh, the gaslighting! • There's no focus, as leaders often chase their own pet projects that don't align well to overall business goals. • If you started within the last year or two, you've likely gone through multiple org/role/project changes that come out of nowhere. Getting traction on anything before priorities suddenly change is impossible and work you may have done over the course of a quarter is easily thrown aside and wasted. • Did I mention the gaslighting? Leaders will straight up lie to you and make you feel like you were crazy if you think or hear something closer to the truth. • Lastly, there's a mission, but is there? I can't tell you what it is anymore, but there's so much about "the mission".
