The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
Have you considered that while this might be your feeling, from the POV of the startup bosses these are just things that need done, and you are the one available to do them?
More specifics might help, but "most junior member on handpicked startup team of very experienced folx" is going to attract some shit jobs for sure. Also may be worth considering allowing the experience to trump your intuition, while registering your objection early on? If you are actually right about things a few times, you can leverage this into getting your way in the future -- if not, you just made the company Z-million dollars! Doesn't really matter who's idea it was, you're the one who did it.
