You can still work fully remote.
PIP abused. The manager uses "alignment" to cheat employees in order to quickly terminate by PIP.
If you think merit will get you promoted, this place is not for you. Promotions here are reserved for those who perform loyalty, fabricate optics, and obey authority. If you write code, you're a tool. If you write the script, you're leadership.

Internal reality: factions, performance art, political maneuvering.
