I worked for a small startup that was staffed by independent contractors now W2s. After 4 straight years of doubling business our shareholders determined that we needed a proper manager. Manager started Monday strategizing. Wednesday checkins, and Friday wrap up meetings all ranging between 1-2 hours. Things started to feel more corporate but hey company chipotle was nice. This visionary noticed that during the meetings everybody was doing other tasks and mandated that during meetings all focus needs to be dedicated on the meeting. Aye aye captain. Progress slowed further. Somehow we got lazier being watched so he enacted the 14 hour zoom to keep us on task.this kept up for months as we coasted into oblivion. The company closed,and we all now work for our competitor. I am playing Elden ring until I start next month.
