Fuck that idiot changed the way so many in my company's see this project, thankfully I've managed to get most on board again and motivated but there's a lot of fallout still.

maybe he was right and the deadlines were impossible to meet. Happens a lot with delusional CEOs.

He was afraid of the project, I need people who see solutions to the problems, we've been able to push a demo in no time. I think he was a bit out of his depth

I thought he was right at first but I started seeing fast progress from the developers who I trust further undermining him.

Sad to hear that, that kind of people are for shit tier jobs like burger flippers, shouldnt be near startups

Not an impossible deadline but a really high level of out of the box and independence needed to work here. I mean we don't have the structure that a larger company would have, no standard operating procedures in the same way.

I try my best at hand holding and guiding people but a lot of this is really new to me too. But honestly there's nothing to it.

Founded a start up in college. Had 4 great guys working for me. About a year later an offer was made to buy the company. After days of discussion I decided to increase the amount of stock my employees owned and sold. Now my former employees work for their dream company (the same one that bought us out) and want for not. Never been more proud of any other decision I have made.
