Don't believe the hype
Anonymous employee
Uberflip Response
6yResponding to the individual here feel somewhat wrong. The reviewer appears to have a severe grievance from their time which I doubt I’ll be able to rectify given the approach. Instead I’ll use this post to address those who read through to the bottom of the above.
This review makes me feel one thing: we need a better hiring process. I don’t say this to be rude or harsh to the employee despite the fact they’ve offended every group of our team. Clearly the experience for the above person was a sour one. But it seems this wasn’t the right place for them. We clearly missed ensuring alignment to our culture. The big lesson all of us should take is the importance of finding a career where we feel at home. Clearly this was a mismatch.
Being very honest this post reads as an angry rant lacking specifics. Am I the perfect entrepreneur? No. Am I the model CMO? No. But I’m determined, passionate and caring about our company, our customers and our people. That in combination with the people who work towards our mission including my co-founder/CEO has allowed us to scale and build something most consider special.
One area I won’t allow to go unanswered is when it comes to our executive team and how they were addressed here. They are great, talented and experienced. In fact, we hire only A players for execs because when we (as co-founders) do we fill the gaps in our own ability to lead at the next stage.
Here’s the reality: The author of this post should never have been an Uberflipper for the following reason alone: we do not speak this way of our people no matter how they’re performing. That is the Heart of H.U.S.T.L.E. I hope they learn some empathy and compassion as they progress in their career as speaking of people like this shouldn’t be tolerated.
Randy, CMO, President
