Orangesto you worked for a start-up, right? There's a stark difference between being a Start-Up Or a brick-and-mortar 'small business'. Start-Ups are Scaled to grow--exponential growth -- rapid growth; Start-Ups that play by 'the handbook' (yes, there is a cheat sheet out there) must understand that in order to consider hiring employees they must weigh in the costs. It's very human to see individuals go on 'hiring sprees' for companies that are still in the red.
I run a start-up comprised of two founders. The work that we do at the moment is mostly intellectual property: Software and Patents. The distribution is handled by Third parties, the Apple Store and the PSN to name just two. The cloud service is a $100 monthly bill that I put out of pocket. I paid for the incorporation and IRS paperwork. I don't think I could afford hiring a college-educated kid who feels entitled to fringe benefits. Yes, Orangesto, I'm looking at you. See, I would be better off hiring dropouts who have little or nothing to lose, many have no debt and still live with their folks. Besides with Obamacare and Corporate taxes in America god knows what will happen. Hiring is becoming a luxury in this economy.
I think that you had too high of an expectation and this happened when I used to hold normal jobs. Managers would sweet talk you into sticking Around. What I've learned is to play the English 'by-the-book' card when it comes to business: Solid Cashflows, clear Milestones and Deadlines, a sense of cohesion between all employees.
It sounds your boss was out of cash and stuck between a rock and hard place, where he had to put up a front to his employees. I think he recognized your talents, but realized he couldn't afford you in the end.
Shouldn't you be somewhere in the Baltic Sea right now?
