>but most of the accountants probably didn't see this coming either. I would expect this was the kind of thing an accountant should see coming though.

  Not sure if sarcasm, but in case it is not: in theory accountants could see this coming but most benchmates were junior book keepers, with no visibility into their employer's financials.

    If I can't see the books I move on. The only reason people hide books is because they are bad. You can't expect a bunch of mushrooms to help you grow a company. Employees deserve to keep tabs on the financial health of the company. Last company I was at was an ESOP. Talk about a scam. They are under no obligation to let employees monitor the health of their "retirement plan." It's a tax shelter for business owners who want to retire. Coming from a company that had open books I had assumed that ESOP members would have some rights, nope. Having left that shit show for a startup I'm getting regular financial health and funding updates constantly. Don't be a mushroom.

      > If I can't see the books I move on Are you saying that as a software developer, or you work with other things?
