That's the current thinking of... well, basically the entire team. I genuinely like the people I work with, and I kind of don't want the entire department to fail, but management seems incapable of making good decisions. Seriously, our top developer gave two weeks notice, and offered to finish up his project that was due in two weeks before he left. Management got angry at him for "abandoning" the team and told him to just go home and they'd pay him for the two weeks! This is 100000% why this project didn't go out on time, and now we are being forced to work overtime to make up for their blunders. As you can probably tell, I'm very frustrated about this...

"I genuinely like the people I work with", if they all plan to leave, there isn't any team left. "I kind of don't want the entire department to fail", that's the responsibility of management and will be on them, not you. Don't try to save an organization with incompetent managers. Like others said, run from this place.
