It was. I was employee number 10. Just started and was entirely bankrolled by that CTO

The CTO sold a software company he bootstrapped in 2008 and afaik has been working as an exec since.

The CEO, a close friend of Mr CTO, said that the system was going to be Mr CTO’s career encore. (Read: they were very full of themselves)

The CIO quit 4 days before I started for, rumor has it, butting heads with the CTO.

Mr CTO ended up firing (with no warning) me and another dev who were vocal about his nonsense. (Out of 5 devs total)

A 3rd guy quit less than a month after.

That’s how my 2024 started
