Former employee in a certain Mediterranean ofc here.
This was the most toxic env I've put myself through. Zero regrets on leaving apart from not going earlier. Some good people there. Some technically apt as well. But the amount of arses and backstabing minions is staggering. I've never before or after felt so bullied by my own coworkers. What they lacked in skills the made up in politics and gaslighting. And it was much like that in all levels. Busy working, busy empty talking, bullshiting and politics oh so much politics that it would make a notmal person throw up.
Anyway i gtfo with clear PTSD and I should probably seek councelling as I'm afraid it shows at my current job.
PS: i've been through a few companies in rough waters. It's always the same story. Nobody loves the company. And if you dare do something about it you are treated as enemy. All the entrenched actors treat it like a cow to be milked till it dies. And when it finally dies they act so surprised and sad...untill they get the severance package.
