Software companies with sufficient market share take on an almost zombie like quality. No matter how much damage they take internally they are able to continue lurching forward and making money because there is no one else in the space that is a viable option or they have their customers locked into expensive contracts. I worked at one such company for a few years. It was terrible. The software was garbage and management was truly awful. We were required to hit 10 ticket points each week or pipped. The only way to do so was to work 60+ hours. I got pipped for the first time (~18 months in) when during the first month of covid lockdowns I got 8 instead of the required 10 points. They literally could not understand how I might have distractions going on due to a brand new pandemic, my kids and wife suddenly being home and lockdown.
Whatever decision you made they yelled at you. I got yelled at once for not lying to a government official. When I quit, every sr. developer quit within 3 months of me; 7 total left and left behind 6 non sr. devs. This was 3 years ago. The company is hemorrhaging money but just keeps issuing more stock to stay afloat. It used the money from that stock to buy its competition in a very niche market and essentially just put them out of business. So they survive and lurch on.
