I did. Left a good job for a start up, promised this and that. Was told the financial situation was strong and that the owner made his bones by treating people the right way, rewarding them, etc.


Well, it couldn't have been further from the truth. The finances were absolutely abismal, attitude around there was terrible. It was like they went out of their way to hire every a-hole and incompetent POS in the city.
On top of that, the owner was a terrible person and treated his people like shite.
I GTFO as soon as I could. They're still around, for now.
You should definitely start looking.

ETA: there was ONE guy there that was intelligent and a decent human being. He's still there, but he could leave no problem anytime he wants.

I saw this happen once. The head of the office I was in up and decided to leave and start his own company. Several people left with him. Everyone was worried because they thought he knew something no one else knew, but it ended up being a situation where he saw an opportunity he thought he could benefit from by going on his own.. A little over a year later some of the people who left was calling to see if they had an opening for them...
