Finding an issue at my former employer meant that you had to resolve it.
If the team environment had existed there, that would have been great.
As it was, trying to get a director or AVP to get their issues resolved was impossible and going at it from a peer to peer level first was just as pointless.
"Not my problem" and variations of "you're not my boss" leading up to "why isn't this resolved? ".

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
