It’s not salvageable because the institutional knowledge has completely walked out the door. When you lose the people who actually know how the legacy systems function, you aren't 'transforming' anything; you’re just setting the stage for a catastrophic failure. Management is too busy chasing short-term quarterly metrics to realize they’ve gutted the very foundation that keeps the company afloat. At this point, the only thing left to do is polish your resume and get out before the next round of cuts hits your department. The ship isn't just sinking, it’s already taking on water at the engine room level.
I honestly think the ship sailed a long time ago. Every 'restructuring' is just code for cutting staff to inflate the stock price for a few months while the actual service quality plummets. They treat us like line items on a spreadsheet rather than human beings, and the morale is non-existent. It’s hard to stay loyal to a place that views you as an obstacle to their arbitrary margin goals. If you're still waiting for things to get better, you're only setting yourself up for more disappointment when the next memo drops.
