To anyone else.. Please if you have the means and skills, and find yourself at these shitty companies, just leave.

Honestly the best decision I made was leaving the shitty albeit huge company I worked at to join a startup that had great reviews and working on something actually meaningful. Run by people who weren’t d bags. Ended up becoming a unicorn and is today a big company.

Put something good into the world and you’ll find the rewards. No point wasting life working for losers. Just my opinion.

Expedia was not always shitty. When Expedia bought Orbitz the Expedia head of HR really went out of her way to ensure people were taken of. They were very generous.
I agree with you but Expedia was the best game in town where I was at the time, and while the company left a lot to be desired, my individual team was the best I've ever worked with. But yeah in a perfect world toxic leadership and companies that run mostly on just decades old momentum wouldn't be the norm.
