Response from Yazan Masafah, CEO of BusinessChat
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I understand that leaving on difficult terms can be frustrating, especially when expectations and performance standards don’t align. We hold our engineering team to a very high bar, and while that can be demanding, it’s also what allows us to build world-class products at an incredible pace.
In this particular case, we provided several rounds of feedback and support, but unfortunately the performance didn’t meet our standards. That said, I still appreciate the effort and wish this person the best in their career ahead.
As for me personally — I like to be myself at work. I believe in keeping things human and enjoyable, and yes, I make jokes and try to bring energy to the team. My intention has always been to create a friendly, fun, and open environment — never to make anyone feel uncomfortable. If my behavior ever caused anyone to feel otherwise, I’m truly sorry. That’s never been my intent, and I take that feedback seriously.
For anyone considering joining us: BusinessChat is a place for people who want to grow fast, take full ownership, and make real impact. We’re constantly evolving and learning, and we strive to maintain a culture of respect, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
