re: Have you worked for a company that was "sinking ship"?

I wouldn't say the company itself was a sinking ship, but a certain part of the company was a sinking ship.
They were expecting to get several big projects and the managers were telling everyone "it is about to start getting really busy soon, we have a lot of work coming in" instead of "we bid on several big projects and if we get them all then we will be really busy, but that's if we get them all". They ended up getting zero of the projects they bid on and they laid off people before anyone had time to jump ship.

Sounds to me like what they really need is a closer

I went through something like this. Were being told to hire people, so we did and were in process of doubling the size of out team to about 40 people.
Then we had a surprise conference call to tell all of us that we were done.
Most of my people found a job within the company.
I said f it and left. It was a shitty way to treat us. Had a spot within the company and turned it down.
Peaced and have been happier ever since. Even get to drink beer on the clock with the owners of the new company.
