Yep I’m going to look at non profits and also look at unions as well.

Thanks :)

Thank you for your response sadly I can’t explain better without divulging internal information and politics, while I agree with you that influence and politics would be an issue everywhere as a manager or a director there are ways to shield your employees from higher ups which doesn’t happen here, we are thrown under the bus until I have to step in and explain what happened, why it happened and defend my coworkers, I have had better managers and directors and this was more of a poor manager/director in my opinion. My manager, director, all the up to the VP are from India and they are bringing the same culture from India the one I came here to get away from. It’s disheartening to hear “get with the program” from y’all, dont get me wrong but there are jobs where people don’t have to deal with this, my previous manager before the acquisition and him being layed off cared enough that this kind of non sense wouldn’t even reach me, especially stuff like this from a director, and y’all telling me “suck it up” doesn’t feel too good.

Yea after working in the USA I was disillusioned fairly quickly when I was stepped over for promotions by people that knew somebody who knows somebody.

It’s all about who you know and how you know them.

Thanks for the information, I will look more into B corp and PBCs.

Thank you!!! bookmarking for future references.

Yep from the recommendations here I will be looking into non profits and see if I can get hired into one.

Yep that’s my understanding as well, fall in line or you’re out.

Thanks!! I didn’t know of this resource will check it out.

Yep moving to a significantly smaller company would be most ideal but I don’t know how feasible it is with the current market and my h1b.

Yep I used to work for a far better environment before the acquisition and would love to ho back to that kind of company, but it’s increasingly difficult to do now a days.

Yea I agree a union would be a better long term fix but not sure of the viability.

Yep exactly, and now the industry is moving back to the 2008 model of offshore devs again, as were deemed too expensive even for the exploitative rate I get.

Thanks!

Yep I’m on h1b.

I don’t think/know of a software engineers union and wouldn’t k ow where to start, also as mentioned I’m on visa not sure if that affects anything.

Yep, high taxation rate is a concern but not more than my sanity. And yea English came naturally and lucratively US seemed the best option in my 20s, harder to pick up a language I was never exposed to will be a challenge but should be doable I think.

Yep agreed, I am brown and exiting the US seems the best route.

That makes sense I think I’ll try and take a look at Europe again but I am also intimidated by my age I’m 33 and another uproot and resettlement seems very scary.

Yep agreed and that why I want to exit the industry as even th3 end goal of a smaller company is to sell out to some investors or to get bought out by a larger company.

I dont see any new tech company that genuinely cares and will not sell out but everyone has a price and that why I need to exit capitalism.
