Yup, mine too. We had developers in two different cities, with a few other roles in a third city. We had actually had some significant improvements in how collaborative we could be thanks to going remote-first over the pandemic.
Then a new company buys us out and decides that collaboration can't happen without being in a physical room together. Never mind that we're still not in the same room because...different cities. That, plus pay "rises" that came in at a maximum of 3% at a time when inflation is like 7.6%, and came in 6 months late. Plus multiple rounds of layoffs.
Over the 12 months before I left the company, more than 50% of the software development team's years of experience had already left. And more have gone since I did.
