Got fired from my last job for them not having enough work for me. Felt pretty bad about that because it was my first job and I didn't really feel that I had learned enough to be a capable developer. Found a better job in 2 weeks :)
Last thing I heard they also are letting go one of the most capable and senior developer I know and had already fired the interaction designer/graphics girls. They're down to 5 people now.
Based on my limited experience I would say it's usually a pretty bad sign if there's not enough work for the developers...

- gkoberger 11y agoI don't know your particular situation, however oftentimes giving a Junior developer less work is more efficient if the better developers can be more productive. No startup ever has said "we're out of things to do". However, they often don't have time to mentor or train new employees.
