Impossible to succeed when nothing stays the same
Pros
The team members were actually competent and easy to work with.
Cons
- Expectations were never clear from the start, with no straight answer on what success even looked like or how performance was measured. - Priorities shifted constantly, sometimes multiple times a week, forcing work to be repeatedly scrapped after significant effort. - Work would suddenly be declared unimportant and replaced by something else, which would also change again shortly after. - Trying to anticipate direction became pointless because it would almost always be wrong by the time it mattered. - Leadership showed no coherent long term plan, with everything feeling reactive, unstable, and disconnected from any real purpose. - After a year of constant restarts, unfinished work, and no clarity, motivation completely collapsed and engagement faded out.
