    we shouldn’t be punished because the execs are mismanaging the company…but what do I know?

    Try running your own (software development) company for a while to find out :)

      Nah man, I have no interest in running a company. I’ve considered transitioning to working as a consultant, but I don’t want to be responsible for other people’s checks.

        My point was, if you own the company the brunt of bad decisions affect you directly and you have to deal with each one. If you’re an employee it is important to trust those in the hierarchy who make the decisions. If you don’t, then, as you say, time for the next thing.

          Yeah I took your point. I don’t trust the two guys leading the company at this point, so I’m making moves toward the next thing.

          I don’t mean to downplay how they must feel after a year of consistent loss. I have very little control over that though, and have put a ton of effort into my work this year.

          It’s a bit of a bummer all around.

            Yes, and it is really none of my business. I have been in the position of running a business that was primarily focused on software development. Some years were really tough especially when they came from dumb decisions that I made. I absolutely hate it when others suffer as a result of poor decision making on my part.
