this is a deeply insightful comment, thank you. i worked at a FAANG for six years and this matches my experience. there's a variety of responses: - to burn out. sometimes the flameout is spectacular, other times it's a quiet, lonely exit. - to "go with the flow." soft-quit, accept that the dysfunction is there and narrow your own expectations within it - (rarely) to productively challenge it, and -- through picking battles and careful resource management -- push through and make something truly good for yourself or your reports. this is situational. all three are often present in one career at different times.
