His/her advice will be for everybody to begin a diary of interactions with management and retrieve what each individual can of their history with the employer. This is the time for everybody to copy and/or print your emails and other interactions with management to a place where you can access them after being frog marched out of the office.

- kpr21 5y agoThanks. I doubt others are willing to do so. A few months ago, I had an offer from one of my old friends to join his well funded startup. ( He himself approached me). I turned it down because I wasn't aware of the bad things happening here. Really regret it now.
