Try sleeping with your hair in a loose braid at night. It really helps stop the morning mess without much effort. What @faith_smith said about real engagement applies here too, just tackle the root cause.

Question if a broken stove really ruins the whole group vibe.

I mean, comparing our agency to Ford is kinda missing the point. Ford had huge quality control and worker strikes when it grew fast. Maybe it's just me, but scaling that quick usually means letting the important stuff slide to hit numbers. You bring in too many new hires at once and the original vibe just fades away. Idk, I've watched places expand non-stop and end up with a mess where no one cares about the work anymore. Without really focusing on what made you special, growth can wreck the whole thing.
