Don't sweat it. This pain will be at the top and by the more senior folks.
I got into the business in 02 at a startup. Moral was low, lots of folks had seen their options become worthless and extreme growth had stopped.
Once the frat party was over, just as the post said, the company had to learn how to live off the land. So while it wasn't easy doing more with less, working with smart people that were forced to be ingenuitive was invaluable.
The other positive with starting out in a rough patch is you'll get to learn what to be skeptical of during those quartly earnings calls (there are only so many times EBITDA adjusted ARPU can be said before you start to wonder why there's little talk about profit)
I guess what I'm saying is, you're going to be OK, the bits still need to flow, servers will still need to scale and software won't write itself.
