I have been at my company for almost a decade in middle management. Making 91k. Constant restructures, recent lay offs, and really poor change management have reduced the morale, and many people are secretly looking to leave. People are coming to me saying they are too afraid to speak up. 4 really good people have resigned in the last month. I was offered another job at 76k, and I took it. It isn't that I expect the grass to be greener, but I just need different grass. Senior leadership presence is non-existent, and the frontline 90% are suffering, while the 10% at the top are just blissfully unaware of their impact. I am so sad to leave a company I genuinely wanted to retire with, but I would rather take a ~15k paycut than keep dealing with this bullshit. I am so relieved, and ready to re-invent myself at a new company. The job market is so god awful, but if you can grow once, you can grow again.
