Growth almost broke my company faster than failure ever did

Everyone dreams of scaling up but nobody tells you how messy it really is. The bigger we get the more time I spend buried in payroll errors, onboarding nightmares and paperwork that never ends.

I thought more jobs would mean more freedom but instead I’m chained to admin hell. Some days I wonder if staying small would’ve been smarter.

How do you scale without losing your mind to the back office side of things?
