To work for a start-up company and be made promises (such as private equity in the company, overtime pay, bonuses, days off, profit-sharing, paid time off, etc.) to incentivize getting you to work 100 hour weeks in order to deliver over-promised client project(s) only to be laid off with no heads-up, no severance and no courtesy whatsoever upon delivering aforementioned project(s). Effectively never receiving such promises and leaving you the weekend to scramble to pull together a portfolio, resume and make preparations to find another job. Optionally, you will be informed "the partners will be okay" and not to worry about them to conclude the layoff meeting.
