The pay is awful, the managers are clueless, and the working conditions are flat-out miserable. Any chance of advancing has been wiped out. It used to have a few bright spots, but now it’s just a sinking ship full of frustrated employees. Things need to turn around fast before morale hits absolute zero.

I agree with everything that you wrote except the part of about a turnaround. Things are too far gone.
Place hit rock bottom the moment carelon global solutions philippines and India came in.
I was moved into another department in the fall. My current manager is a total b. She thinks nothing of yelling over teams or phone calls. Daily calls and it is alw@ys, always an emergency.
Managers have a choice to break this toxic cycle of behavior. But they don’t. No one is asking for miracles. However, not even an effort or appearance of an effort is made. You ask me to drop everything to help you with a report or spreadsheet and then not even a thank you for staying late. You assign impossible tasks and projects and when asked for direction or general guidance you give none and say you had none. It’s pathetic, just because your management treated you poorly doesn’t mean you have to treat your reports that way. A leader breaks the cycle. Please be a better human, a mere thank you or please help me goes a long way.
Employee morale is already at a zero. It will only get worse once March rolls around and people resign the day after their bonus hits the bank and the remaining people left are doing triple the work. Oh well.
Remember, your manager was once a go-getter with aspirations, too. The apathy is bred from the top down.
Some managers here are clueless, and others are just pure a_s lazy...... I often wonder how many of them are working a side gig during regular work hours. Middle management needs to take a hard hit in the next large rif.
Most of the skilled employees have left or been RIFd. It's a mismanaged mess. SLT is a joke!
All the good resources are gone, since everything is pretty much offshored
