On leaving

I left a job recently. Not the cleanest exit — I was pushed, more than I jumped.

I’m not going to name the company. People who know me know which one. What I’ll say is that there’s a specific kind of toxicity that’s hard to name when you’re inside it: the kind where processes look professional on the surface, where everyone says the right things in all-hands meetings, but where actual decisions are made in small rooms by people who’ve stopped listening.
