CEO of a YC funded fintech startup

IMPORTANT

Monday morning and nobody at office. We have no option but to force strict rules now:

  1. If you arrive any later than 9:55 in office, it will be marked as half day leave.

  2. Lunch breaks are supposed to be max 40 mins long. I accept basic courtesy of following this, if not, I’ll tag people on the group.

  3. All leaves requests need to be emailed to me. Without any record on email, we might not be able give a record of how many leaves in each bracket are left for each individual. So don’t expect this data from us, if you don’t email.

Icing on the cake, CEO didn't come to the office

Are they hiring for a Chief of Staff, I have some very unique suggestions of my own:

  1. We should definitely install a laptop monitor and camera monitor for each person so we can track exact hours worked in focus
  2. We can start with weekend hackathons and brainstorming sessions, this will further boost productivity, employees will definitely be excited about challenging stuff to do on weekends
  3. We should care about employees and install sleeping bags in the office. That way they won’t need to go home to sleep 😴

That happens at our workplace actually. They track breaks from the time you're off your seat. It's quite efficient.

For all legal reasons, this has no reference to Stack Finance and it's CEO, any similarity should be considered coincidence.
