At work, I'm a hero. I run by myself what should be two departments of at least three people.

Couple of weeks ago, my boss gave me a "promotion". Went on about how he had to clear it with the board, etc. It's a title change and 0.5% equity on a brand new 45 month vesting schedule with a new 12 month cliff. No cash money, I'm still making junior dev salary.

CEO tried to talk to me about it, it was the verbal equivalent of a pizza party. I just didn't engage at all, and the planned announcement to the whole team silently never happened.

Coincidentally, this happened a couple of days after I had updated my indeed resume with the same title they later "promoted" me to.

Job was fun at first, but the CEO is extremely confidently driving the company straight into the ground. Fake monopoly money isn't going to keep me on this sinking ship, my guy.
