uneasyearlyhire··on Ask HN: At what point does being a loyal early hire become a poor choice?
There has been talk of such a meeting for quite a while and I think the founders realize the need for this. However, like most things at this company, its actual realization is long in the indefinite future.

Looking for a job though already feels like being disloyal. Given how early we are and how much domain knowledge I have of our system and operations, I worry that my leaving the company could be catastrophic for them. On the other hand, do I even want to be with a company (as a non-founder) who's entire existence is dependent on a single employee? If so, then, I feel I should be compensated accordingly.

At that point isn't it already the case that you should have already left? I mean, having no other options is exactly the sort of situation I want to avoid.
