What to do when your company misses payroll?
synnik: I've been in 2 startups that didn't have cash for payroll.Startup #1: The CEO took payroll out of his own personal credit cards and paid us all anyway. That startup went public and grew to be very successful.Startup #2: The CEO was already a millionaire, but wouldn't put in a cent of his own money. That startup failed.In short, if the CEO cannot find a way to pay you, then he isn't cut out to be the CEO. Don't leave because payroll was missed -- Leave because the leadership isn't there. But by all means, LEAVE.
