To echo others... the CEO/Owner ruins any glimmer of happiness.
It is astonishing to watch someone tear down her employees day after day.
It’s embarrassing to walk through the building and hear her employees openly talk about how much they don’t like her.
Most of your day-to-day is not given to you from your manager, it’s last-minute tasks from the CEO who then turns around and freaks out that nothing is planned in advance enough. No one can get their head above water.
The COVID19 response is an absolute joke. There are stricter rules about eating gluten in the office than there are about the current GLOBAL health crisis. None of the 30+ people employees want to be at the office because there are little to no real safety precautions. Everything put in to place is the absolute bare minimum (wipe down surfaces, wear a mask in meetings, wash your hands). Instead of this internet based e-commerce company working from home indefinitely, everyone is required to come to the brand-new office space because... the CEO wants us here.
