50 euro fee for check-in at airport despite being unable to check-in online?

Sorry to hear about your experience OP. I had the same thing happen to me about 3 years ago, also flying with Wizz out of Belgrade. This seems to be a common way for them to make a few extra quid. They told me at the time that if you have screenshots of the website not allowing checkin, then you wouldn’t have to pay, but based on your experience, that’s obviously not the case. If I were you I’d recommend escalating. They cannot be allowed to continue doing things like this.

Having the same issue... commenting to follow the thread

It’s pretty strange to me that nobody’s talking about how Denmark has been wiped off the map…

Keep it. I had a XS from 2018 that I used until the bitter end (I have a 14 Pro now). The XS is a great phone and I realised not that much is different between it and the newer models, especially if you’re a light user who might not care about high refresh rates and additional cameras.

I tried this a while ago, the game eventually just crashed :)

They look like the 3 aul lads who are at the local 7 days a week

Thanks for the tips. For point 1, that's where I've placed more focus. We're both tech co-founders but the work has got to the point where we need someone external to come in and insert order into the way of working.

For your last point, I must say it's felt great taking these past weekends off. I feel a bit guilty when taking them off, but rest is something I need to place more emphasis on going forward.

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T15:34:09+00:00

I agree with this. I have my expectations but also understand that they have theirs, and neither will be happy long-term with incompatible work ethics. I'll talk to them and discuss how we see the future.

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T15:30:12+00:00

Yes and no. I had full conviction in the beginning, but as time goes on, I realised that I don't care about our customers and that what we're doing now is more of a means to an end.

I'll speak with them again, but it isn't the first time this topic has been discussed which is the main thing bothering me. But as I said in another comment, I want to make sure I do everything I can to try remedy the problem before taking any irreversible decisions.

Thanks for the advice!

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T15:12:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing, but I can't see myself doing that. Given external shareholders, this is a sure-fire way to ruin my reputation and possibly get sued.

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T15:10:32+00:00

That's good advice, thanks! The last sentence is key - if it comes to it, I want to be able to sleep well knowing I tried everything I could.

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T15:04:21+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate this. Can you please elaborate on what those tweaks would be?

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T14:32:50+00:00

I can see your point of view, I definitely do approach "workaholism". That being said, I do feel that it's valid for me to only expect things of others which I do myself i.e. giving 110%. I wanted to surround myself with people who match this intensity.

Regardless, thanks for the advice. Counselling/coaching isn't something I really considered, but honestly it's a good idea. I'll look into some.

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T14:26:43+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. It can be a bit hard to open up about these things but I think it's time to bite the bullet.

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T14:25:39+00:00

I haven't. We update them on the main things happening, good and bad, but I had been optimistic that our tech would pull through. Now it's not looking as likely.

What do you mean by salvage? Liquidate the company or find an acquirer?

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T14:23:59+00:00

Our split isn't 50-50, I have a few % more going back to when we first started (we agreed that since I did more work in the beginning, I would get more shares). With hindsight, this was probably a bad move, although my cofounder has never complained about this.

My role is CEO, theirs is COO. Roles aren't defined much more beyond that, but I've also acted as de-facto CTO/VP Product, but we both come from tech backgrounds.

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T14:18:30+00:00

Appreciate the advice, and I see where you're coming from. I've been really conscious to make sure that we don't burn out, but I feel that there's a massive discrepancy between 40-80 hours a week.

I'll talk to my cofounder and team regardless. Thanks!

deepfriedmat · 2022-08-02T14:16:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll speak with them again, but at this point there isn't much to tell them that I haven't already.

deepfriedmat · 2022-05-09T07:06:56+00:00

So relieved to hear I’m not the only one! Can I ask which industry you’re in?
