Pros

WFH is still an option.

Cons

Apex is incredibly damaging.

It is time-consuming, causes mistrust among employees, and is not transparent or fair.

I work until early hours of the morning and over weekends, and I don't know if it will be enough or not this time around. There is just no guarantee what will come back from those calibration sessions.

I am sacrificing my health, life, and time with my family, and I may or may not have a job after this coming Apex. It is not worth it.

Advice to Management

Why bother? You don't listen to us or care about us anyway.
