'even if you don't have a job'.

You realize, I hope, that a month from now that's likely to be 'especially since you don't have a job.'

When 'leadership' gets to the point of quantifying everything there is probably very little hope. They only way that makes any sense is if the new investors are only on a path to raise perceived value in order to sell soon. It's a risky path because if the behavior bites them on the ass 6 months too early the perceived value can crater pretty quick...
