Not in the tech industry, but @ 42 I've worked in a lot of industries with a wide range of experience and worked with a lot of entrepreneurs and founders.

Without actually knowing you, I can't say what type of person you are. But I can say the type of people I've met who had similar viewpoints were very arrogant and rarely recognized the great contributions of their employees, and often took personal credit for directions or products created by others (often when they were incredibly dismissive of those ideas before a breakout success). I would ask you to re-examine your view of your employees, but if you are an example of the type I'm talking about, it most likely wouldn't do any good. Your ego will not allow you to actually recognize any contribution as anything but your own hard work. You blaming your apparent bad hiring decision on lack of talent pool rather than your own ability to seek out the best does not paint a favorable portrait.

The shit your employees have to deal with working for you just might be a magnitude order worse than what you are going through as their boss.

That's what I think solely based on your post.
