I’ve been involved in a few start-ups.

2/3 are now strong.

I was also involved in an “end-up” - I don’t know how it would be normally termed, but - ‘you have 6 months to prove this will turn a profit or it’s being shut down’.

I saw my boss juggle 2 zoom calls & another phone call at the same time.

Madness!

I write subroutines as fast as I can can think of them just to stay afloat these days, but seeing my boss juggle all that made me wonder - I have no Idea how to help.

I used to think I could figure out anything.

The call I had to be on was painfully slow & could have been done by email.

My boss for exactly 1 second completely lost his temper & I’ve known him for 20 years & never seen that.

I fear people are extending some things just to assure they also have work to do - even if they have to create it.

& then there are the opposite who spring SERIOUS deadlines 1 day prior - (someone else to blame?)

I went through rough times in 2008 - but all this crap is new.

am I the only one?
