You wind up taking "haircuts" and doing without equity here in Los Angeles till you are like me, 43 and forced to live in a squat with no running water because the startup you were working for decided to kick up your hours to 21 days, 7 days a week with no overtime, and then cuts your base pay by 2/3 so the founders don't take a haircut, this has been happening over and over for 14 years for me to the point where this company has me doing without personal hygine to finish their product, ironically its a health oriented compnay. Sounds like the ravings of a mad man, but this is how they treat developers in Los Angeles.

- derivagral 12y agoThis sounds like a place you should leave.
- logfromblammo 12y agoIf you're living in a squat with no running water, your job is not improving your lifestyle. People can do the same thing working zero hours per week at a regular job.
