Karthick Raajha, founder and CEO of Revv Growth, recently shared on LinkedIn about a senior employee's departure after she declined a 100% salary match offer from a competitor, expressing concerns about the company's financial sustainability. Raajha claimed that the company grew 3X last year and is on track for 5X growth this year, attributing this success to the founder's vision and determination. His post sparked a debate on social media regarding employee loyalty and the differing risk appetites between founders and employees. Many commenters defended the employee's decision, arguing that it is unrealistic to expect employees to share the same level of conviction as founders. Raajha, who founded Revv Growth in 2023, emphasized that the departure was not the main point of his message, but rather the company's growth trajectory despite the employee's predictions. The discussion reflects the complexities of loyalty and risk management in the startup world.
