If the company IS in "deep financial shit" and you are as important as you say, then it would be in their best interests to treat you better. If you quit and the company goes under, it is not your fault.
<rant> And if you have to stop even for a second to ask yourself if the well-being of the company is more important than your personal pride, then you might as well stay there and be the company doormat, and spend your free time washing the boss's car and mowing his lawn. A job is, at it's most basic, the barter of money for service. If you provide the service, your part of the bargain is done. Your paycheck pays for your services; it is management's job to make sure the company continues to run profitably. That is why they get paychecks of their own.</rant>
Seriously. Even in this crappy economy, you can always get a job (waiting tables, manual labor, etc.) that will cover rent/mortgage and food. It might not be what you want to do, and your quality of life may decrease temporarily, but it can cover until you find a better job.
Not only are they now charging for sales tax in California, but I just got an email telling me that they're going to be charging me $.05 for every email I send....
I stole my first copy of Hudson Hawk from a friend of mine. Since then I've bought close to a dozen copies of it because all of my friends do the same to me after I tell them how good it is. I have never lent out a copy of HH and had it returned.

I agree. I've often said that this job wouldn't suck nearly so bad if it weren't for all of the users...
