CEO needs to go. - Anonymous employee Alchemer Employee Review

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! I understand your perspective. I'm sure I do sometimes seem erratic. I think you made the right decision in leaving the company. I don't say that because you disagree with my management. Instead I say this because you & SurveyGizmo were obviously not a good fit and you'll be happier elsewhere. I wish you great luck out there! In terms of your feedback, I'll keep an eye on seeming to micromanage. I don't micromanagement as much as I used to - teams for whom I trust the manager have almost complete autonomy provided they work off my strategy and road map. Strategy and road map are my responsibility (both as CEO and Owner) -- and I do ask for projects to be completed to my satisfaction. That's also my right. If an employee such as yourself doesn't like my style, decisions, strategy or the direction of the company it's a perfectly valid decision to leave the organization. I respect your decision to leave, I only wish you had decided earlier so you could have been happier. However, as far as the CEO leaving... well, hmmm... awkward... I'm also the owner. So that's not terribly likely to happen unless I sell the company. In terms of manager input - that depends strongly on the manager to be completely honest. If the manager is well aligned with my strategy and works well with me then I absolutely work with them and listen to them. Good luck on your future pursuits! Thanks again for your feedback and perspective on SurveyGizmo!
