They cut me in November. I admit, at the time, it felt personal. Looking back several months later, it was the best thing that could have happened. For the last at least five years there, the environment was toxic. The peer group I started with was gone, replaced by contractors and offshore teams. Every re-org meant new faces and new anxieties. I was constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Now that I am out, I can see clearly how much it was affecting my sleep and my mood. My advice to any American applicant is to proceed with extreme caution. The culture is broken.

I'm praying 🙏 for a severance package 📦
@ae ...sometimes you're just waiting or hoping that somebody else decides for you. Years ago, I had to deliver the bad news to one of my direct reports and was prepared to receive a backlash. To my surprise the individual looked relieved and came up with a stereotyped comment. Five minutes later he left the room.
If you are not being cut, you would still working at this toxic environment
Yes the culture has been broken for a few years and will get worse.
Congratulations on taking care of yourself instead of making your boss look good & eating Ramen, while he eats steak and lobster with his stock options.
