Tag: toxic

I've always worked in startups, and the "we're a family with a higher mission" attitude often leads to a lack of personal life and a complete lack of balance.

My biggest fuck up was growing up thinking that being older or being in senior management meant that you knew what you were talking about.

I was literally getting calls from the Group FD who was now running the business, as my wife went into labour.

I had massive anxiety that everything else I was doing at work was shit. The biggest thing I learned was to make a decision early and stick to it.

This supposed imposter syndrome isn’t a result of your fragile brain, it’s the structural toxicity of many managers and work environments.

I spent too long ensuring that the captains of the industry got free rein, encouraging toxic cultures.
