That only works so much. If a team goes from 3 people to 1 person, that's probably doable... you're leaving out a lot of communication. But from 6 to 1, you're going to have to prioritize what gets done and what doesn't.

But if you're working for the payoff from equity and the team size is shrinking that much, there's no payoff coming. Your salary had better be enough, but you should be looking for an exit.
