people always lie
and then if you make decisions based on what they lied you will enter bitterness territory
I think years of a life wasted is too much to gamble on the possibility that somebody is lying, which I think people lie 96% of the time. often they don't even know they're propagating lies. the role responsible for something will give them a nice PR-reply and they translate it to something positive and do another PR-spin, and on it goes
I would assume the worst
but hey maybe I've just been unlucky
at least if I waste years of my life I can blame myself for it though, but it gets confusing if it was your belief that other people were solid people

Lets all help them share their startup
True or not? ;)
My company has a board on Blind (semi-anonymous social network for corporate employees). We're a startup and have had two layoffs in the past two years, with very few pay increases.
I voiced my thoughts about the future of the company. We're pulling in a lot of revenue (millions a month) but still have a crazy amount of costs.
Someone responded that a bunch of our revenue ops people left for other companies. Another person replied the director that left had a good opportunity, thought we'd get another round of funding and that the company has had some purchase offers (with valuation being the big sticking point).
If it's true, it should feel like some job security. I can't help but also wonder if anon is lying so people purchase more of their stock options to generate more runway.
