Sounds like a shit hole dying company.
Never accept shares unless it's on top of the base rate you deserve. Money is valuable now. Stocks will most likely not be valuable never.
Also, you need to start looking for a new job last week. -
Nope. Don't do it. A lot of people tried to fool me with this also but did not accepted.
Discuss the shares after you are been payed the salary you deserve.
And that company is dying, so the shares won't be valuable.
Start looking for a new job. If management and marketing is bad, does not matter how perfect is your product. -
What everyone else said. Get paid for what you worked. They can offer shares as a bonus. If the deadline is impossible say clearly you can't do it.
Ask if accountants and administration are being paid in shares too if you have to.
So, i started working at as a front end developer at my current job about 3 months ago, my boss now wants me to rebuild the system that took the last developer 5 years to build, and is made up of 40000 loc, in 5 weeks. And because the company cant afford to pay me any more to work full time on it, he's offered me shares instead.
