Lots of attrition

Pros

I was mostly able to still work during COVID-19.

Cons

There's been a lot of attrition in the development space. People aren't feeling motivated, and what was once one of the most amazing places to work has become a place where people are frustrated and leaving.

The QA department was dissolved (everyone's a coder and a tester now!), and people stepping up and making meaningful contributions as people leave aren't rewarded.

Advice to Management

There are some departments where nearly the entire senior staff have switched teams or flat out left the company.

People don't quit companies, they quit managers.

There was a time when I genuinely felt I could come to your office Mark and bring this stuff up, but I don't feel that way anymore.

So an anonymous review is the only place I can bring these issues to.
