Well, none of it had to be done the way it is being done. Amateurs send mixed messages and scare people by saying things like...
This isn't working we have to do something. Amateurs focus on technical details and not benefits and results.
While I agree some aren't behaving well it is also a function of poor leadership and poor communication.
Lets put the DEVELOPMENT guys in charge of communications... Said no one ever.
Self-starters and people with a high level of personal responsibility do well here. Those who want step by step direction and someone else to solve the problems don't do as well.
From working in Start-ups I've seen this before. Some people don't like change, can't understand anyone having a different view and seek leadership to solve all the problems. Some roll with the changes. Anyway Steemicide is real.
I've seen this before as well. I've seen it all here before and in life. I agree with everything you said here. Mistakes are being made by amateurs. That's clear. Plenty of opportunities to set the record straight, hardly any were taken. Misinformation everywhere. Know your role is a good one. Too many cooks in the kitchen is another. Teamwork. That shouldn't be a foreign concept.
