I put myself in the firing line in front of an H1-B I had taken under my wing when the sales started slipping under the new VC installed "execs."
At least we both got some solid severance, and freedom.
He's doing great in a new job and I'm enjoying my hobbies and trying my hardest to stay away from tech.
Good move, tech is such a toxic industry.
If you can find the right place, there are still pockets where it has not been completely taken over by the "techbros" (sigh, I hate that term's implications - it's really MBA-type douches, not so much the tech people themselves).
Sadly, they usually don't last too long. It's like constantly trying to find a TAZ or something. Sooner or later, some seagull manager is given free reign to fuck it all up, destroy any good culture that anyone managed to make and so you have to move on...the places I've seen it turn fastest is where some MBA genius thinks they need to "save on human resources" by abusing the H-1B system. If you are lucky enough to be at a place that has no H-1Bs, and then they start getting added, start getting your things in order and GTFO if you can, because it's likely to turn into a toxic wasteland.
