Mashable had a great piece by guest author Michael Cerda for employees of small companies to help know when to jump ship. I highly recommend reading this for anyone working at a small(ish) company. I’ve seen evidence of this at a number of the places I’ve been in or worked with (not just tech companies either) and would be wary if you see anything in your current situation that you can relate to.

Nothing like a nice fluff piece in the monthly issue of Fortune Small Business, but I figured I’d check and sure enough Rochester, MN made the list of 100 Great Places to live and launch a small business (although with 100 cities - most major metro areas do). The winner was Bellevue, Washington. San Jose, CA ranked 66th. Other Minnesota cities with honors were Minneapolis, MN at #23 and St. Cloud, MN at #75.
