Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your experience at your company.
The combination of taking a managerial job voluntarily and the possibility of getting training/support to work on your leadership skills sounds crucial to me for having success.
You mentioned your company's approch is "somewhat controversial"... could you share more about that?
Well, I'm referring to the fact that I've had a few people (mostly outsiders) telling me the leadership approach "won't work" because it's too different from the traditional way of doing things. It's common convention for management to be paid more automatically by default, so there is some resistance to the idea that our managers don't. I've learned that, usually when you get that sort of criticism this early on, the resistance scales up as you grow (not that I'm worried.) ;)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
