I stabilized them over the course of that year and helped them transition to new developers. Company is doing fine as far as I know and should be for a while.
They've got a massive network effect which is why they were able to survive months of chaos from a bad rebuild. That's the only reason I came on in the first place. The network effect bought a lot of time to fix things and there was no clear "Facebook" to their "MySpace."
Really the only thing working against the company is that their target market is aging a lot.
Nah, it worked out. They had to replace me with 3 people. :-)
Besides, I didn't want the company to go under. I'd spent the last year making sure they didn't and didn't want all of that work to be for nothing. Plus, I didn't want the other people who worked there to be out of the job.
Eventually, everybody who worked there with me left on their own.
