Having worked with transportation &quot;tech&quot; companies in the past, even some that were wildly profitable - I&#x27;ve always found their execs or founders to be cold and generally out of touch with what their employees actually want.<p>I actually found a role here on HN for one of these companies, they&#x27;d actually built some really cool elixir tech to automate some big accounting and lending problems in freight factoring - however, they also bragged about &quot;enabling the midwest&quot; but in reality clearly just liked that they could run a sales team for next to nothing. One of the founders made big public announcements when they basically fired people who were &quot;no longer a good fit&quot; but whom had strong relationships with the rest of the company... it was weird. Also the only gig I had were they begged me to crosspost linkedin posts etc... Glad I left shortly after.
