And yet I don't know if I'll be let go this week because even when they say cuts are based on performance, we all know by now it's anything but true. It's sad that these days, being good at your job means basically nothing here.

@eh staying for the same reason
@ax Yes, that is likely the case. Years ago I received an exceeds expectations (or however it was worded) in an annual review; a year later my manager said it would be reasonable to give me the same rating however there was no room for this--it simply is not allowed because it means the manager set the bar too low after the first exceeds rating.
Excellence is demanded of us, yet when we achieve that (and more), we're told it's not good enough and we're not rewarded for it.
So, you ask, why stay at OT? Well, I cannot speak for others but I've been trying to move along for years, but I've got to remain gainfully employed.
@OP "I'm damn good at my job." While that is likely true now, they'll just tune the KPIs and suddenly you won't be, just like that.
These days? OT has always been this way.
Well, what feels true in my world is you can be great at your job, but the company isn't going to reward you for it. If you su-k at your job, you are eventually going to be let go. You have to know the right people and be in good with them in order to get any meaningful raise.
