Over the past two years our company changed directions at quite a few occasions, I didn't always agree with it, but I kept working because I build this product from the ground up.
A few months ago we were told we were having financial issues, and if we couldn't find any more investors, we all would be out of a job end of May. Obviously I started looking for another job, but end of May comes around, and at the very last day we were told we had new investors and could keep going. On top of that, they asked us to give up salary for meaningless stock options.
I kept going anywhere because it's also my product and I could look for another job in the meantime. But obviously morale and motivation was pretty low, eventually the CTO sat down with me and gave me the option to either resign or be let go. That was about a month ago, just signed the contract to my new job.
