    In that case, the management was basically the founders. They grew the business without any employees, and when it came time to bring on employees, instead of stepping back and letting the employees figure out the best way to get their job done, they’ve rigidly enforced their work methodology on their employees. When you deviate, they get unhappy.

    That specific company was a bit of an outlier, the majority shareholder “brags” that he has fired more people than… I don’t remember, I couldn’t have given less of a shit when he said that. I was busy trying to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head. But that’s literally something he said to me in person, with nobody else in the room. Needless to say, that company is shit for more reasons than controlling management.

    Needless to say I was already starting to look for the exit after being there for less than a year.

    I can’t really talk about why I am no longer employed there, but I can confirm that I did not, at any point, provide two weeks notice as required by law when quitting. Beyond that, my lawyer advises me not to discuss it.

    Needless to say, I’m thankful that I’m not working there anymore.
