Not quite a company death rattle, but close.
We lost another person today, taking our company down to five people.
Today, I drove into the parking lot in time to see Adrian, one of the two people running the fortune cookie store, walking away. He had come in lone enough to get his check, and left. I really should have stopped and said goodbye to him, since he was a decent guy with a good sense of humor. Evidently being told to cold-call and try to sell fortune cookies to tax preparers was the last straw.
Joy of Joy, two more employees have whispered to me (Bossman doesn't like us to talk to each other) that they are looking for other work, and are on the brink of just quitting. Which will leave as employees, let's see...the IT guy and me.
And right now the one person Board of Director/backer/investor has come to talk to Der Bossenstein- they've gone to an early lunch to talk, I guess. I didn't even KNOW we had a backer. This seems ominous, even though the guy on the phone sounded so senile I couldn't give him directions to our location.
At this point, I'm mainly hanging around so I can use the computer to toss resumes out, and also to watch this slow train wreck happen.
Then again, I know a company a block away that just lost three employees this weekend- admittedly in a triple homicide. Maybe I should apply there. It couldn't be worse then here.
