If you aren't an actual partner in the company, you shouldn't be complaining. Were you compensated at $150K+ from the beginning? The founders probably got paid nothing while the business was being built.
"both founders seem to have rose glasses on and hiring VP of Sales/Biz Dev and VP of Product, CFO, buying other companies without consulting with me."
If you aren't a partner in the company, why would they need to consult you?
This is why I don't like working for other people..and if I do, I don't have unrealistic expectations. I've made many people rich through my hard work, but as an employee, I only expect to get paid for my work.
$150K is a great salary. Save some of that money and bootstrap your own company. It sounds like you already have the skills.
- softwareguy116 15y agoYou are correct that the founders don't need to consult me and I shouldn't be complaining. I do however have a sense of ownership over the product. I can detach myself from what is going on and just do what I am told. If I adopt that strategy, the only sensible option is to maximize my income and work on short-term contracts. Which was my other option as I stated.
