Please recant your old, new, current war stories.

How many of these situations drove you towards creating a startup?



Are you implying that a startup will not have any dysfunction?

I have found startups to be like a pressure cooker for coworker relationships and dysfunctional situations. The main difference being people are too busy to worry about it so they quickly get past the problems.

Bigger companies it just plays out in slow motion over months, where it tends to unravel in a day at a startup!
