I saw a start-up go years without firing[1] a guy with an extremely shitty attitude. But he was a old friend of the CEO who wanted to "fix" him.

That place was like a kindergarten. It wasn't a bunch of kids, either: most people were in their 30s.

Did you mean you saw the startup go years without firing the guy with the shitty attitude? That would make more sense.
