Yeah, they have no idea what people do / need. They think software engineers are “typists”. This continues the trend that’s obvious. We are to be more like contractors and mercenaries for hire. That means you provide your own tools, office, and supplies to do the job. Act accordingly. Look at the HR policies looking to pimp you out to other departments and encourage mobility. It’s kind of like trading slaves to try to squeeze more from you for no benefit to you. So, yes they will provide less and less benefit as long as they think there’s a plenty of people to take your place for less. We are viewed as replaceable cogs that are identical and unspecialized. This is direct from a former executive to my face. Good luck and prepare!
I agree one hundred percent, @jjk+19DyT5YZ
