Hate the founder but believe in the product
I need some help to snap out of this , or to find some perspective. I work at a small org with around 8 people. I really believe in the product and have been with the team since before launch. We have launched since around 6 months and things are going pretty well. I can't help shake this one feeling though, i really dislike the founder. He's a really disrespectful person, talks about other people's families and wives, makes racist remarks, has no respect for people's time or personal lives. He literally said in a meeting a joke about sleeping with someone's wife. I couldn't believe that. I mean i get joking but saying something like that goes beyond the workplace. That's kind of a personal thing to say. Everything is about him and what you can offer him. I do in fact believe in this company's mission though , so i hate that he has some power over me with that. Of course, this is natural as he's the founder. But he's just someone I can't hep but feel deep down doesn't deserve success if that makes sense. He hasn't done anything to me personally but he has said some pretty surprising things in front of me like mentioned above and also his outlook on some of the other people in the company, it's just plain toxic and disrespectful. Part of me also recognizes that we would still be just as successful without this toxicity so i'm kind of like man this guy doesn't deserve shit. How can i ignore this ?4
