Today at work was one meeting after another, so needless to say, it was a tiring day, especially since some of these meetings weren’t really that necessary or informative. During one of these meetings, someone who heads up another team who I’ve never officially met was already seated for the meeting, and I sat down next to him and said hi. He literally looked me up and down, probably decided I wasn’t “high up enough” at the company to really acknowledge, and then went back to looking at his laptop. That “hi” was never returned. Yep, you got that right. I just got dissed and ignored.

I thought that the whole point of working at a start up was that title or positions shouldn’t matter and that the structure was supposed to be flat because everyone was valued and everyone is a contributor?
