Wow! That sounds like a very intense environment to endure.

A friend of mine was working at a startup that was doing quite well –– until it wasn't... The founder and CEO started dating the head of sales and things took a turn for the worse. Not because it was an office relationship but because the founder and CEO was married... and the company was failing. So as you can imagine, smart decisions weren't really being made. They started losing money and sales continued to slope. As the head of sales received a raise for no reason (again, they were losing money), half of the 50+ were laid off within the same day, including my friend. She was great at her job but she watched a train wreck and was almost relieved to be let go so she could find a new, much better environment. In case you were wondering: Both the CEO and head of sales have been let go since and they're no longer together. To no surprise, they did not have a happy ending.

You're invited.
