I was the first hire at a company that grew to 5 people in total. I got told pretttty much everything, though usually after the fact. Business decisions I was sometimes asked for my input but with the knowledge that I was just providing my opinion rather than it being "a vote". There are no secrets in a small company. When we went under, I wondered how it was that we had run out of money. The boss was always transparent about cash - I was always able to look at the books, and I was aware things were getting grimmer by the week. In the last week or so he took me through everything. Lawyers are expensive :(
