And probably the 10 person office at PrimeView was the first time you had to show up on time for anything. :-) And aside from weird, excuses like my car drove by itself and hit a house or hill or something. You were pretty much a solid employee.But I don't recall that as an internship, so I say I take issue with that idea, and say you had a real life job. If only for a brief time. :-)Peter Hey we taught you a lot at that ‘short internship’, as the guy that took the risk on hiring you, You were very green.

The major problem is the in the last phrase of Tyler's 2nd sentence, when corporations react only to the stockholder constituency.As a company grows, if you are in charge, you will institute processes, checks and balances, etc that will make you less flexible. Guaranteed.Take your companies to 1000 employees and the need for structure will consume your time, Josh. Preconceived notions notwithstanding. Without the experience, you will find yourself hiring staff that can bring the needed expertise.

Their entire structure exists to repeat similar processes over and over and over and over, because it's cheaper and more likely to please the stockholders that way.The ONE thing I learned from corporate America is that in order to grow, you MUST change and adapt and go with the flow. You need to surprise and shock and wow and solve problems.Corporations are great for people who want to be told what to do, and there's nothing wrong with that, but for many of us, that just doesn't work right.
