Working for startups the past 6 years I have noticed a pattern where leadership priority is delusional from my perspective.
* We seem to be surprised when our schedules continually slip despite it being brought up that our schedules are very opportunistic when they are first made.
* We pick metrics that justify us making certain decisions while discrediting other options that perform better on the measures that our customers tell us they plan to measure us by.
* We are focusing on the long-term selling points of our product as a higher priority than solving issues that are causing our product to fall short of our current contracts, causing us to not be paid due to falling below performance targets.
I am currently working on my second start-up both companies started by first-time founders. The first one I joined after series A and left after series C.
the second one I joined after series A we are currently on our B, the founders were directors in FANG.
I am technical and a manager.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed when you don't agree with or understand the reasoning behind leadership choices and are beginning to be labeled as pessimistic within the company ?
