Pros

Remote work.

Destination 90. Nice laptop, which you have to return if laid off!

Cons

Feeling like you work in a coffee shop (not in a software company).

You have to be lucky to land on a good team; otherwise, you might have to deal with childish behavior and gaslighting.

Childish behavior includes no humility and no psychological safety in a team.

I believe that the leading team got it completely wrong and they are not aware of the 20/80 rule.

So, they run the people for doing stuff which does not matter.

Advice to Management

Take a break. Maybe resign and give your place to someone who has an idea to handle the situation.
