To work for a start-up company and be made promises (such as private equity in the company, overtime pay, bonuses, days off, profit-sharing, paid time off, etc.) to
incentivize getting you to work 100 hour weeks in order to deliver over-promised client project(s) only to be laid off with no
heads-up, no
severance and no courtesy whatsoever upon delivering aforementioned project(s). Effectively never receiving such promises and leaving you the weekend to scramble to pull together a portfolio, resume and make preparations to find another job. Optionally, you will be informed "the partners will be okay" and not to worry about them to conclude the layoff meeting.
Example:
Thank you for joining this Google Hangout meeting on such
short notice, we appreciate you all being able to show up, with the exception of Rick, who had a mild stroke yesterday. Let us proceed, the partners and myself wanted to gather you all here today and tell you that you have all done a
bang up job busting out those projects for us, we know you're tired and we know we could have told you a month ago that we're not doing so well financially--
on that note, you have all just been flavored. By the way, please do not worry about us the partners, we'll be okay"
TL;DR
You've just been flavored.

Example:
Every so often I'll purchase some flavored
coffee beans at the market, and grind them in my little blender. Then add some to my
regular coffee can, hence flavorize my average coffee day with a special additive, whilst also
economizing with my budget.
