CEO Behaving Badly
Nothing Better To Do With Investor Money? Why not act like idiots to the fullest extent possible
The controversial Florida-based startup, PayPerPost, is leading the effort to tarnish the blogosphere makes another PR blunder. The company has been chronicling their startup days on a video blog called RockStartup. There have been some embarrassments before with the video blog.
What kind of embarrassments? The most recent episode is when all employees of the company were taken on an all-expenses-paid trip to Club Med, where as far as they spent their time getting drunk and dressing up as Native Americans, complete with lots of red face and body paint (something many Native Americans find both racist and offensive). The company also hired something called a “Creative Thinking Coach” to guide them through the whole experience. There are hundreds of companies out there doing it tough with little or no VC money - and then you see this. Way to go, Ted!
