I had the exact same experience. Got my shares and bailed.

The c levels are oblivious. They think the company is one thing when its the opposite. This is what adds the to head fuck of working there, you behave how the ceo recommends and you will get targeted for dismissal by your boss more than likely.

I've been where you are and on this guys exact team. Give up and move on. Saw everyone who came in like you as a crafter leave or be fired after around a year.

"That list of tasks is handed off to employees who will repeat a similar process within their areas at a more granular level.

Good reporting up and down the chain allows people at all levels of the organization to adjust course when needed, with a level of autonomy suited to whatever level you're in within the organization."

Yeah this is the part that is missing at shopify from my experience. And it has caused all sorts of brutal problems and mental health issues for people.

The poster doesn't mention this but there is an insistence at shopify from c level that there is no politics at shopify. But then this guy gets told by his gm that the key to the company is politics, which is definitely true there. Weird place.

Not even just at entry level. Gas lighting and bullying at this company are nuts, people constantly having breakdowns and having to go on stress leave, looking forward to more updates of and when this guy stops drinking the cool aid.
