By this time it should be apparent to everyone that the company could care less about your high workloads. The 2020 layoffs also showed that didn’t care about retaining some of their talent. They would rather retain a poorly paid low performer. They used a video game as justification. That should tell you everything. Either leave now while the market is hot or take your chances on MAYBE getting a severance at some point. If you are patiently waiting for things to improve, ask yourself if things have improved or worsened over the past several years.
Does your Director or Sr. Director exude any type of confidence in the future of the organization? Are your directors even qualified to be running large portions of the company? Do the directors tell you to stop living in the past when you reference 2020?
