I have to say, go with your gut feelings. I have worked for a company in Alabama called CyberTechnologies, where it turned out that the company was a sinking ship. there were three partners that owned and ran the company. two of them were busy working other jobs to help finance CyberTechnologies, the other was trying to run the company full-time. bottom line was that the 3rd owner was apparently writing checks to herself and guess what? me and the other tech working for the company got stiffed. we didnt get payed. i worked for the company for over 3 months and got payed once. i ended losing everything i owned because of my loyalty to the company. that was my fault, but i wanted to give the company a chance. i work for a different company here in california, and i've been with the company for 5 years. everything goes ok at times, sometimes times are tight and i've been asked to hold my paycheck a few times, but i've at least always been paid. but i've done what i can for the company, its time to move on. my loyalties to a company depends on how the company is ran and the type of activities is happening at the company. so you have to analyse the situation. do you think things are going to get better or worse? go with your gut feelings. and remember one thing about 'friends' employees, you may risk yourself helping them out when they're in a jam, but do you really think that they would risk themselves helping you? i think not, but i can be wrong. but most likely not.. save yourself, go where you would be happier and feel stable, afterall, friends and a failing company doesnt pay the bills. bill collectors dont care about you or your feelings or situation. take care of yourself first. 'friends' can come later after securing yourself..
