      A recent job I had, Product kept saying this over 2ish years…

      …at the end of the stint and with ~2 weeks until launch, they laid off all but one person on the team (some 12 engineers or so, myself included).

      I often wonder how much shit that person is wading through leading up to launch and post-launch fighting fires.

        If they are smart they would have bailed as soon as they fiund another job once everyone else else was let go.

        But they probably kept the one person they knew was afraid of quitting.

          Afraid of quitting not so much, but they are underpaid for their skills. At least for what they need the person was more skilled than me, but being paid ~$40k less. So…yeah…
