It is an irony that the past employee would like stress-free worklife, and still achieve for good career growth. In life, you can't have the pie and eat it. Success and growth come with some extent of sacrifice, grit and hard work. Things are not spoon-fed and certainly not dropped from the sky. It is great that some employees like this have to leave. Any company, let alone startup, needs to survive in a brutal macro-economics environment today. If any employee is thinking of a comfortable work life, he or she must rethink whether working in a startup is suitable. At the very beginning when any employee joins, he or she would already know that they are joining a startup. Every interview we had emphasized that point before the employee decides to take on the job. Work is going to be tough, but there is certainly so much to learn, including international exposure and supportive team. If comfort is a key priority, then taking up this job is certainly a wrong move, and since taking up this job is voluntary, then there is no point in complaining over spilt milk when the choice was yours at the very beginning.

It is unfortunate that there are certain past employees that have compromised the integrity of the business and clients' interest with slow and unprofessional responses, plus excessive taking leaves and leaving work undone. By using slow processes as a facade, they attempt to escape scott-free with their unprofessional attitude towards work and clients. Despite repeated warnings from management and middle managers, they continued their ways and have to be forced to go. As a result, many clients' complaints behind the scenes have to be picked up by current employees and management. It is time to reflect if such an approach can be acceptable in any company, let alone startup. Good news is that such people have left leaving them to learn from the brutality of the corporate world and to grow up a little more.
