I left in 2022 because I couldn't take the hostile work environment anymore. Are things still the same or have there been any improvements? I don't know why I'm suddenly curious nearly three years later. Call it New Year-induced nostalgia or whatever, I guess.

I left in 2021 I was snuffed out when a director they hired waited after for his 2 year grace period not to poach other employees from his previous employer. He gave me jobs with no job number where I was forced to work for free. There were what I call 1 hr jobs because he would low-ball the budget so much that there was no way to get the work done in the amount of time. He was working with the design centers in india to delegate work the asked me to stamp the job which required me to basically do the job from scratch. I supplemented my PTO with my other existing projects for a period of 4 months. I finally had enough and left later I saw an ad out for my job it was filled in a week he hired his old coworker. It was horrible I now work in a real engineering job where your not treated like cattle
Not at all, "lead by example" doesn't exist with upper management expecting heavier workloads on more junior employees than they have on themselves (more often than not we're told to continue working while they proceed to leave and go home). There's definitely some understaffing but it doesn't help that management lacks the skills to be able to properly manage workloads on people.
