When teams unconsciously recreate the work cultures they inherited

Our startup team all came from corporate backgrounds where we learned to push through everything, and now we're building a company but unconsciously recreating all the toxic patterns we said we wanted to escape. We're working 80-hour weeks and calling it 'startup culture' but it's really just the same burnout-driven mentality our parents brought home from their jobs, passed down to us.

What we've seen

A group is building something new while unconsciously reproducing the very patterns they sought to transform.
