Great discussion! I don't have a lot of big org experience, but from freelancing in my past, communication tends to get less frequent until they basically ghost you.

Oh man, I just saw on LinkedIn a CEO/founder I know added being CTO/Founder of another startup to his profile. RIP my friends at his old place.

Yep. I've had that done when working as a contractor. It's pretty dumb since I was a contractor. Why not be up front about it?

As an employee, you get sidelined doing support and doing nothing, like they hope you'll just leave. Or else, they'll figure out a way to "reduction in force" you like giving you a bad review or the like. Once again, a dumb and often dishonest way to do things.
