She likely won’t know what you are supposed to do 40+ hours a week. Your Founder Boss may have strong views on what you should be doing. Which may be wrong.

Q: Do a sizable number of startups use Microsoft 365? Most startups I work with run on Google Workplace / GSuite. It’s truly Cloud-native, it integrates slickly with the rest of their Google life, and most startups tend to use Gmail already in general and in their personal lives.
