March hurt. Two of our best and brightest left voluntarily despite having the coveted virtual designation and being only in their 50s. Each put on a good game face for why they were leaving but everyone knows they got tired of the lack of leadership and apathetic coworkers putting in the bare minimum. Morale is in the toilet and no one is trying to do anything beyond keeping their heads down and a clean presence report. T counting badge swipes, butts in seats, and key strokes as markers for success is cultivating apathy, resentment, quiet quitting, loss of morale, and disintegrating culture. No one else is paying employees this much for mediocracy which is why only those who saved and invested and have pensions can tap out. The rest of us suffer and grumble largely in silence. Most don’t even want to hear themselves complain anymore. I realize how sad and pathetic this post sounds but this is where we are and I am.

God, imagine having emotion over this? Turn on the news and realize none of this matters.
OP is right. I'm gonna leave soon too.
oh no. Not all the top performers
I am a high performer and I am still here.
OP-
100% !
“I just look at it is paid interview/application time for other opportunities.”
And yet most never get offers
Yeah this place is awful. There’s no reason to do anything, I just look at it is paid interview/application time for other opportunities
I’m not going to disagree with you. I wish I could say leadership doesn’t care, because they do. They care about making it as miserable and as toxic as possible!
