I second this advice. I've been in your position, and I can tell you that that kind of management simply doesn't care about the talent beneath them. If you leave, they'll replace you with someone else and treat them the same way. Do not work where you can't be effective. Other good employees, including many of those you are currently managing, will likely follow suit over time. And management won't really notice or care when a first-rate team walks and is replaced by a second-rate team. Management will treat them all the same. That said, I have seen good team leaders move to greener pastures and convince some their better developers, over time, to join the new team. This happens in almost all industries. Don't let your mental health suffer. If you care more than the decision-makers above you about what you're doing, you can't win. Go somewhere that will let you do your best work. BTW, when I was in your position, I hesitated a long time before making my move. It got so bad, I thought I didn't even want to work in the tech industry anymore. When I finally did make the move, the difference was night and day. Work was enjoyable again, and I was energized and full of motivation.
