Ask HN: How to deal with a hard to work with Start-up CEO?
The problem - Anger management, blames people for things when they go wrong. Unreasonable work expectations for product features and expectations that a person would be available anytime/any day weekends including to do work and support. Does not pay properly or on time. Does not communicate properly on what is happening at the high level. In short, someone for whom you will find it hard to work for even if you like the problem the company is trying to solve and doing your best for its success.
Potential solution - Quit. But this would burn a lot of fingers/relationships and put the company in a spot since I'm pretty sure most things will break if I leave. There are no processes in place for anything. I manage a lot of things and am overworked with little time for anything else.
Been a few years, the start-up still is in the product development phase and there have been good results for whatever has been in the market. Product market fit is yet to be achieved but I believe is possible if people continue working nicely. But with tensions running high, I wonder if that would work out.
