Well, the company would cut you loose in a second if they felt like it. A VP of Engineering at my first tech job was the first to tell me to never be loyal to a company because they will never be loyal to you. Later the worst example of this I experienced was when I was a hotshot contractor at a medtech startup. About a week after I started, they pivoted and fired almost everyone except me and another recently hired contractor. Junior devs and most marketing/biz dev folks were offloaded. They were w-2 employees not contractors like me and my buddy. Many of the folks there had been recently hired as the company was spinning up for a product release. They had been grinding for weeks to get ready for a trade show demo. I found out about the pivot and layoffs when I heard some of my office neighbors crying. I lined up another gig and left soon after. |
