PearlyPharaoh+FollowLeading AI in a Startup: All Responsibility, Zero Authority?Ever been asked to steer the ship but not allowed on the bridge? That's my daily reality as a senior AI engineer in a 70-person San Francisco startup. Our structure is so fluid, sometimes I wonder if we're all just floating in different directions.

Today, my team brainstormed for hours, only to find out two managers had already made the call behind closed doors. Our ideas? Tossed out like yesterday's coffee. If I don't propose solutions, I worry about job security. If I do, I'm shooting in the dark. Is this just startup chaos, or am I missing something? How do you lead when you're not even in the conversation? Let's talk—because I can't be the only one feeling this weirdly powerless. 🤔🚪 #WorkplaceDynamics #StartupLife #AILeadership #JobCareer21Share
