Most of GFY people is one-man ventures working from bedrooms, so got no any experience in manage even 1 employee. Wonder how easy to complain on big corporation having not run one themselves "better". Wished to see disgruntled employee as CEO of company he criticizes. For a mainstream company I ran 10+ years ago I had 25+ employees (35 with contractors), to produce million dollar worth software contracts, and it was a complete mess. Compared, to run 2 cam sites (as I do now) it is super simple (and it is not). It is quite difficult to run a big company if compared to bedroom operations, you lose all of the control, knowledge and personal stuff you have in "jedi kids on ICQ in nights" miracle efficiency. People no more know what to do, managers no more know what guys do, many start to sleep in offices or browse facebook, think the company is doing wrong as "I would do it different, the CEO/Managers is idiots" and so on. Bigger the private company it is, more it looks like public organisation or Soviet Union, and you know how it ends, alternative is be nazi regime and you also know how it ends too. So I am quite silent when it comes to criticize the managemend of many-bathrooms and offices operations... as I know I could eventually do it worst then them. Also unsure you tried be representative of some union, I was this too, and it is also a mess. In general to deal with big number of humans it is a displeasure.
