Am I the only one who's absolutely drained from this whole situation?
Us folks in IT, we’ve been under this pressure for two solid years now. And what they’re doing to us? It’s straight-up inhumane. Imagine watching most of your coworkers walk out the door day after day, and then being told you're ‘safe’ the next. How long are we really safe for, though? The truth? Nobody’s safe ‘til they’ve booted out everyone who doesn’t fit into their ‘perfect’ new structure (aka all the new hires and the so-called ‘Olympus gods’).
It’s obvious the company’s just keeping us around long enough to wrap up some projects, then they’ll drop us like a bad habit once we’re no longer useful.
In the meantime, we’ve had to put everything on hold our career growth, life plans, financial decisions, all frozen for who knows how long. And still counting.
But hey, don’t worry, we’ll get the ‘good news’ soon enough. For now, just keep doing your best (and all the extra work from the people they already canned).
Good job, that’s how you wreck your company culture.
