11yAgain, you can see that he comments as though he works in the office, but indicated he's a "Former Employee--Account Manager" which is a person who works in a van, out in the field. Remember, you can't be both. This shows it's yet another weird post by a single, troubled former employee we had to let go because, other than not being engaged at work, he'd even fall asleep at his desk. We're all glad we've moved on and not let the situation metastasize. Hopefully he'll move on to greener pastures.
People can be very convincing during an interview situation! it sometimes takes several weeks to learn that things are more (or less) than they initially seemed. With the growth we’re experiencing, managers need to be diligent with tasks when others are slow to fulfil their requests. With many projects moving quickly, at least basic prioritization of tasks is critical. If upper management deems something “highest priority” obviously, it can’t be neglected. These are high growth, high potential, high-reward jobs, and as such, managers are expected to not “sit back, relax, and let stuff happen”. For some, they’re better suited to a very large organization where their strengths may actually lie, and their shortcomings are not as impactful.
Keep one thing in mind: It’s a fact of life for today’s high-performing companies to release those who don’t measure up. To do otherwise endangers the company, and breaks an implied promise we have to the dedicated employees who do excellent work every day. So--by all means, read the negative reviews. If you’re looking to coast and “go with the flow”, you may not be a good fit. But, if you’d like to do good work you can be proud of, if you’d like to have a MUCH greater earning potential than most others you know--do yourself the good service of considering the positive reviews--those who embrace doing good work. If you’re one of those people, you’ll fit in well (and earn well) at our “sky’s the limit that’s currently playing out” company!
