Founders, what's your advice? (Facing culture/work issues at a startup) [I will not promote]
I work as an employee at a startup. It's a small team: ~15 people.
But here's the thing: the culture is in shambles.
- People dissing each other behind the back (even dissing the founders)
- Culture of fear: people afraid of suggesting improvements, correcting stuff that's horribly wrong, in fear of push backs and arguments (I'm talking arguments among employees, etc.).
- No process or accountability. People entering or leaving the office whenever they feel like it.
- Generally submitting shitty work.
Now, I know it's not my place to go out and try to change all this as an employee. It's the role of the founder.
So I'm thinking the obvious now: quiting and starting somewhere else.
Do you have any other suggestions? Things I could try before I finally start looking for new opportunities?
Because I can't work at such an environment for long.
