Reply to comment by gulyman in Dreams for the tech sector’s rout: The end of founder worship, and a reset of toxic startup values by Hrmbee

You should try working at UPS. There is very much a cult of the founder even in established companies.

I've worked at the same top 500 company for many years, 3 different ceos. The first was worshipped and the next two spent their time fixing the culture. Leader worship ruins culture so fast.

Founder: "Not all of your ideas will be successes"

Everyone else: "So why does everyone including you think all of your management and business ideas are? Because you had one good idea and got lucky with the time and funding?"
