Fish or Cut Bait?
Areas to explore: Do you trust the Founder? Do you still buy into his vision? Does the Founder actively demonstrate that he respects you as a valued business partner, (even if you are junior)? Are you financially/mentally prepared to walk?
Before you bail-- suggest a serious one-on-one conversation with the founder. Get some clarity on where he is on growth plans and compensation. Also, it's fair to share with him exactly what your expectations are. Manage up, look for a win-win scenario. Friday afternoon is a perfect time for this conversation. Suggest you guys go grab a beer together.
