CEO is incompetent, with an ego that knows no bounds.
Example: In the morning sales meetings (compulsory hour long session each Friday starting an hour before work started), we were made sit through watching motivational videos on youtube about going the extra mile. Upon finishing the video, the CEO then implied that staff should work longer by either reducing their lunch breaks or sleep schedule, "look at me, I live off 4 hours sleep and don't take lunch, you need to show commitment to the grind like mine if you're going to last here"
Everyone is too focused on impressing him, as if he is some disgruntled toddler that needs his ego praised on a daily basis for fear of disapproval
I have never been in one, but it is the closest thing to a cult I have ever experienced with Mitch at the helm.
