In these last weeks of a stage in the system I am relinquishing control of, I learned a lot about people surrounding it. From the investors, the executives, the other employees, and the members of the development team. I have to say some of them show a noble side that I did not know they had; but mostly, I saw terrible examples of blind self-interest.
It is amazing how people behave when even the smallest stake is in question. I hope the other people examining my actions and my words will say at least I tried to be helpful, and at least tried to be neutral. I can't say the same for most of the other people.
The members of the development team show surprising maturity, even though they are such young people. I believe their youth is actually one of the reasons why the other people thought of taking advantage of them. That is disgusting, of course. But, really, few people will come out smelling like the rose in this situation.
Let's just say I remember how these people behave. This is a small community; and we tend to need each other's help, one time or the other.
Still, it is so disheartening sometimes to know this side of people. Not pleasant at all.
