-I was vastly underpaid for all the high-quality work I was consistently producing, especially when other team members received significant pay increases.
-Rigid management that brushes off concerns and feedback in favor of getting as much work done as possible in as short a time as possible and still expecting the same quality and no mistakes.
-Forced to use ChatGPT to produce a majority of my work on a daily basis, which felt fraudulent.
-Zero support from leadership in the form of hiring an additional team member to help with an increasingly heavy workload (company was very quick to start hiring for my replacement, however).
-Lack of encouragement from leadership in favor of only pointing out issues and mistakes, which made me question whether I was doing my job well and conditioned me to anticipate criticism at any time.
-Zero acknowledgment from leadership of my accomplishments, dedication, and significant contributions to multiple award-winning projects.
-Being given the title of “senior” and expected to do more while making less than junior wages.
-Having some of my project deadlines cut in half by management without prior consultation (while they preached about good communication).
-Being expected to produce more and more work under ever-tightening (and frankly, unrealistic) budget constraints.
