The partners fired us. Since they owned 90% of the shares of the company, the board (the other two partners) voted to fire us. As 10% share owners of a company, you are still considered an employee of the company. You are not considered self-employed until you hit the 25% mark. Contract provides that if we were fired, that all shares must be bought by the partners that still own shares in the company. It all has to do with how the company was set-up (as an S-corp LLC) and the articles of incorporation. Business partnerships were once described to me as "a marriage without the courtship". If there had been more "courtship", I sure as hell wouldn't have gotten involved with my ex-partners. It's neither here nor there now. I'm actually pretty relieved that we don't own it anymore. Our lives completely revolved around the pharmacy and it was causing a lot of undue tension between us. Working from 8am-8pm 6 days a week can really wear on you after 2 years. I'm looking forward to just working a 40hr/week job.
