Yeah, that's what I thought too. I asked him straight out if he wanted me out (I tried to quit), but he said he wanted me around and that I could still gain experience from being part of the team.

I was not receiving pay prior to the disagreement, but was promised equity. The percentage was never discussed as that truly was not why I wanted to be in this. We have been friends for a few years and I don't think he wants this to affect our friendship.

We do not have revenues yet as we have not launched. The plan is for that to happen in the next month.

We have a sales guy who is solely focused on biz dev. He is paid on a straight commission.

After our disagreement last week, my partner decided to hire someone else to help out with marketing, which was previously exclusively my domain. I do think we need help, but the way this hire happened was far from ideal.

Yes, the experience last week raised a few red flags for me. I thought I knew him and his working style, but I guess I was wrong.

Thanks for the feedback.
