And the company will close faster. You killed it. Don't join a startup.

- geezerjay 8y agoIt's not fair or reasonable to pin the blame of failing a business on the last employee being fired. Even if that last employee did any harm to the company, that would be like blaming that ladt straw for injuring that poor inocent camel.
- bonesss 8y agoThe company will close faster? Oh no! Muuuuuch better to work 80 hour weeks, get a serious case of burnout, have no resume developed, not be prepared for your job search, and keep those-people-who-are-not-you's business going... what... a single day longer? A week? Or how about the most likely scenario? 0 seconds longer. I'm not sure how much value a single engineer can create for a whole company between current date and company shutdown, amidst the layoffs and all... But if the marginal difference between 100% productivity and 25% productivity of a single engineer for a couple months is directly visible on the companies overall revenue, to the point its termination-date is meaningfully altered, then you have either got someone who will be working at Amaz-oogle in weeks time regardless (and no good explanation for going under!), or we're talking about a revenue stream that is comparable to selling aluminium cans found in the trash. Things are already trending south. Self-interest is a moral imperative. The rats that staple their feet to boats drown.
