It’s a brutal cycle that seems to have no end in sight. Watching long-term colleagues get pushed out after years of loyalty is honestly demoralizing. When management prioritizes short-term stock performance over the actual people building the product, the internal culture inevitably turns toxic. You’re making the right move by looking elsewhere; there is no sense in waiting around to be the last person standing in a hollowed-out department. Prioritize your own stability and get out before the workload becomes completely unsustainable for those remaining behind.
The writing has been on the wall for a while now. This isn't just a seasonal adjustment; it's a fundamental shift in how they view their workforce as disposable line items. Everyone is replaceable in their eyes, and no amount of dedication or tenure protects you once the quarterly goals are missed. If you’ve already started networking, keep that momentum going and don't look back. Companies like this rarely reward loyalty, so stop waiting for things to get better and find a place that values your actual contribution rather than just your salary line.
