How about a meeting an hour after our daily standup and it's the CTO and CIO saying "ok is everyone on the call?"

I was telling myself "oh crap, the company is gonna shut down"

5 minutes later "So as of this very moment, everyone stop working. The company is officially closed as of this meeting."

We were a start up essentially. Made it almost 9 years with ups and downs. This all happened at the end of July. At least got 3 month severance and insurance covered. I do start a new job Tuesday.

Well, you jinxed it. Can't blame them.

Congrats!

Is this what happens when you start a start-up instead of starting a business?
