Business Outlook
Pros
Talented colleagues doing their best under increasingly dysfunctional leadership Solid product-market fit, though execution is suffering Brand recognition still opens doors—for now
Cons
Toxic leadership culture rooted in insecurity, control, and self-preservation Zero respect for high performers unless they’re politically convenient Feedback is ignored unless it flatters up; dissent, even when accurate, is punished Career growth? Only if you’re in the inner circle. Otherwise, expect to be sidelined, ghosted, or managed out Constant reorgs and reactive decision-making from execs who mistake attrition for accountability Top-down micromanagement kills initiative—trust is lip service at best
