我共同创办了一家处于监管行业的初创公司，已经运营了大约10年。我是技术联合创始人，负责搭建产品，并组建了一支善良、聪明、有同理心的团队，他们都希望能做出最好的事情。我指导他们，传授我所知道的一切。在接下来的几年里，我们一起度过了美好的时光，与客户共同创造了令人难以置信的成果。我们感觉自己正在推动行业的变革。不久前，我被踢出了领导团队，这其中的原因一半是我自己，一半是我的联合创始人。事情进展不顺，容易将责任推给我。公司引入了顾问来提升管理水平，但他们却大量消耗资金，剥夺了每一个角落的快乐。最终，他们被一位来自行业的放手管理的高管所取代。公司有雄心勃勃的计划，想用更现代的工具取代我们所创造的产品。中层管理层被解散，专家们也纷纷离开。我们变成了一家功能工厂，只要有人签字，我们就会构建他们想要的任何东西。在这一切中，我一直坚持着，目睹团队的苦难。直到最近，我的联合创始人告诉我，我的时间到了。我被认为是有帮助的，但不再被重视。裁员即将来临，而我是第一波。失去对我花费了10年时间的事业的掌控和主动权，感觉既奇怪又令人迷茫。询问我近况的只有我所招聘的团队，而不是领导团队（或我的联合创始人）。这让我觉得自己与现实脱节，仿佛在某个时刻我达到了瓶颈，或者房间的形状在没有人告诉我的情况下发生了变化。我写这段话并没有特别的目的，只是想与大家分享这个故事。写下这些也是为了将我的感受表达出来，以便我能够继续前行。你有过类似的经历吗？有什么可以分享的建议来帮助我吗？

I co-founded a startup in a regulated industry. It's been going about 10 years.I am the technical co-founder. I built the thing and put together a team of kind, smart, empathetic people who want to do the best thing. I coached them and taught them everything I knew. For the next few years it was a blast, we made incredible things together with our customers. We felt like we were making change happen in our industry.A while back I was kicked off the leadership team, for reasons that are 50% me and 50% my co-founder. Things weren't going well and it was easy to blame me. Consultants were brought in to mature things and they vacuumed up money, sucking the joy from every crevasse.They were eventually replaced by a hands-off executive who comes from the industry. There are bold plans to replace the thing we made with more modern tools. Middle management was imploded, SMEs riffed. We are a feature factory that will build whatever anyone wants, as long as they sign.I've stuck around through all this, watching the team suffer. Until recently, when my co-founder let me know my time was up. I am considered helpful but no longer valued. A layoff is coming and I am the first wave.It's weird and disorienting to have lost the power and agency around this thing that I spent 10 years of my life on. The only people who are asking how I am doing are the team that I hired, not the leadership team (or my co-founder). It makes me feel like I am out of touch, like at some point I found my ceiling or the shape of the room changed without anyone telling me.I don't really have a point other than to share this story with folks here. Part of me writing this is to get my feelings out and in the open so I can move on.Do you have an experience like this? What can you share that could help me?
