strategy has changed wildly over the last year with no steady hand at the wheel and big re-orgs. the only people who have been able to curry favor with our equity capital overlords are the most sociopathic among senior management, while rank and file spin their wheels. remote and contract workforce is treated increasingly poorly it seems. outsourcing and layoffs will continue. this is not an innovative company with growth opportunities for the Austin market at all anymore, and the senior leadership REALLY doesn't get it. they can stand in a room full of people telling them the room is on fire and not only would they be saying "this is fine", they'd probably go on about how the fire is just really a great opportunity to expand into charbroiling and marshmallow roasting. Or they just don't care, because Joe Davis' attitude is apparently "anyone who doesn't like it is free to leave", so he can hire that position somewhere else in the world for 1/3 the cost. if you talk to people openly like that, telling them to their faces they are interchangeable, uncreative commodity labor that you'd rather get for cheaper in India, why should they continue to put in any effort for you?
