• "Leadership" via fear and public humiliation • I often felt confused, scared, sad, and not a part of "us" while working here due to poor communication and lack of trust + respect (2-ways streets which I also negatively contributed towards) • My best technical "gift" is breaking stuff and failing forward, however, I lacked a sense of psychological safety to do so here • I didn't feel respected nor that folks listened to my proposed alternatives to "business as usual" (and I often couldn't care less for "business as usual")
