@MadServlet :( I'm sorry to hear that, Servlet. I hope things turn around.
Sadly, start-ups with great and skilled people can still fail. The saddest part is that the nicer and more honest your boss is, the harder it is to compete. It's tough to compete with liars when you're honest. :(

The last leg our company was standing on suddenly decided they're shutting down. The next 4 - 5 months we're possibly shutting down too and the news really hit me hard no matter how my boss put it softly.
Other than that, I'm really thankful for our company , co-workers and especially my boss. He has supported us all the way; work related and non-work related. He wasn't just our boss, he was a leader, it just so happens we all fall short of something to keep the company running.
I just hope we can come up with something profitable and within our resource and skillset. I'd feel really bad about it getting dissolved just because we're not good enough. It feels more like I let them down.
