I have never worked at a place that made me dread actually waking up in the morning and coming to work quite like Starry. Before I started, I saw all these 5-star Glassdoor reviews and was incredibly excited to work there. But like any deal that sounds like it's too good to be true... it was.
The level of micromanagement I experienced was unlike anything I could've ever imagined existed. I had to take days off at a time because of the anxiety attacks I got from working at this company and the people who flat-out refused to let me do the very job I was hired to do. Working at a place where you know you'll be stroking your colleagues' bruised egos while having them yell at you because they think they manage you... yeah, that'll do that to a person.
And it all starts very close to the top—not necessarily the CEO, who from my understanding is a genuinely good guy, but from certain people around him, who have zero idea how to do what their job requires of them in 2019. And that extreme level of disorganization trickles down, leading to confusion, resentment and disdain amongst some staff—especially when some certain spineless members of management refuse to fight for their employees, choosing to instead to throw them under the bus to cover their own you-know-what.
