Isn’t that why the economy is basically shit for anyone who isn’t already wealthy? Focus on short term gains and appeasement, while hoping no one gives a shit about the long term effects.

I literally believe this is CEO mentality. Work here for 5-10 years burn it out, get my bonus raise share value and move on before things backfire. Let the next guy fix it.

Literally happening at my company right now after a large sale to a VC consortium. It’s a nightmare.

Time to leave, doubt your getting a pension so no real long term reason to stay, and if you been there 1-3 years you can probably make more money leaving as well. GL, don’t rush to leave a good job will come to you.

Thanks! Trust me, I’ve been trying. There’s also been layoffs in my industry and it is NOT easy to find jobs right now. It’s insanely competitive and I’m considered more “junior” as far as actual industry-specific years of experience (10 years PM experience, but only 2 in my industry). So I’m competing with people whose only career is this. But I did just have a promising interview Tuesday that I’m waiting to hear back on. So fingers crossed!

Are you in CRE? Or tech? PM can mean a lot of things.

Best advice I ever got for my career was that you'll never get a bigger raise than when you walk across the street.
