Sounds like you made the right decision. Also sounds like they didnt treat you like adults or People for that matter, just employees that are nothing more than employees.
The worst part is I bet they did all the "we are family" and "this is our vision" stuff at those management snoozefests.
The thing I really hate is all the meaningless catchphrases. My SO did an interview for a job paying less than market rate because of the "perks" mentioned in the ad, which they could list none of at the interview.
They also espoused "work-life balance", while simultaneously expecting her to do unpaid overtime at their whim.
She did not apply, and the job is still advertised, now two years later.
