Voluntarily or not, which one of these geniuses at VP or above will exit 1st in 2023? So many do nothing VPs to choose from. Unfortunately, they all think they're doing something meaningful but everyone knows better.

Many in engineering are just waiting for AIP payout and then it's sayonara. No one has any respect or trust the current directors or VPs in the organization. The consolidated engineering team under incompetent former VP, now SVP, and recently... — read more
