Horrible company: Husband-and-wife CEO team need a reality check

Pros

- remote work for all employees - sometimes they buy you lunch

Cons

Do NOT apply to work here!! The entire reason this company is faultering is because the husband-and-wife CEO tandem. They never listen to any of the experts staff they hire, instead, they make all of the company decisions at their home dining room table. Zero transparency. Anyone who disagrees with them eventually is gets fired. Probably at least 5 people who are experts in their field who put up any resistsance to what the CEO wants to do all got condescending verbally abused constnatly at meetings, plus publicly shamed in company wide emails. The amount of condecending micromanaging from the husband CEO is also otherworldly. Lately the CEO started acting like an aggressive "tech bro". Volatile temper for no reason, maybe because they are losing money but think about it, they are losing money because any strategy that was not THEIR idea is immediately rejected and the person who came up with it is punished for failing expectations. Lastly, they have zero care about their employees. Worst health plan, and until recently refused to grant sick days so people were working when they were sick because the low pay, they can't afford to take a day off. They changed the bonus structure as well to avoid paying them out in full and paying as little as possible (while always speaking sunshine ways in that you can make SO MUCH money from the bonus, which is impossible, because bonus conditions are impossible to meet). Also, as a staff, you are not allowed to spend any money. Marketing budget is 0, ads budget is 0. Admin budget is 0. They claim it is because the company is small, but it's just for their own bottom line. In conclusion, no one in the company has any morale left. They all try to be brave infront of the management but secertly everyone is talking trash about the CEO because of how horrible the conditions are. Those who did not get fired ended up quitting too. High level positions people cannot cope with the stress dealing with the CEOs and are fed up and left. Anyone who works for them can see why.

Turnover, tension, and toxicity—oh my!

Pros

The permanent work from home is nice, and the team (exec leadership aside) is wonderful.

Cons

When I took my job at WeyMedia, I thought I was leaving behind a toxic culture. Unfortunately, I had no idea what I was in for. My introduction to the company was good—the team I managed was wonderful, there were plenty of opportunities for improvement, and the CEO listened to my ideas (and initially allowed me to implement some of them). I heard rumblings of “Just wait, this won’t last,” but things seemed ok. …and then the other shoe dropped. The CEO is truly awful. His micromanagement stifles all potential for real progress. Instead of focusing on new ideas or strategies, he can’t let go of things that might have worked a decade ago but are wildly outdated in the present environment. He controls even the tiniest details, down to the exact spreadsheet colour, column width, and font size. And processes are gospel. Oh, but they don’t work for you? Too bad. If it’s a documented process (and trust me, there are maaaany), you’re doing it. The founders talk about “acting like owners,” but what that really means is they want you to take on more work than you can possibly do yourself, sit down, and shut up. Feedback isn’t well received—in fact, pushing back on things you don’t agree with typically results in outbursts from the CEO, sometimes in private meetings, other times publicly in a Zoom chat. Despite leading the content team alongside my co-managing editor, I had virtually no agency to make decisions; everything had to go through the CEO for approval. The team at WeyMedia is small, but they’re some of the loveliest people I’ve ever worked with. Unfortunately, unhappiness is rampant and turnover is high. There’s simply no way to do your best work (or be happy) when you’re in such an unpredictable, hostile environment. Do yourself a favour: if you’re thinking about applying for a job with WeyMedia, think again.
