I went down with a sinking ship, early stage startup once. It was extremely painful for the employees, and I'm sure the founder/CEO - however, he ended up making a series of extremely selfish decisions and engaged in some very questionable behavior trying to keep it afloat. I wish I could have more empathy for founders that let their dream go on too long, but, I think it's just as (if not more) painful for the people they employ that bought in on their vision. No job or project is worth your mental or physical well being.
