When I first started with my company, things were great. I was excited to work which lasted for almost 2 years. Then the senior manager retired, his replacement was on board for about a year before a medical tragedy happened. Then we were faced with the big boss. He was forced to oversee us all from Regional leaders down. This is when the culture and vibe changed to depressing and the mood has soured. How do you cope with the culture shift in a once exciting job that now has you dreading work?

Nowadays it seems like people just bring their affairs to work and destroy the good vibes of others. Lots of sadists and vibe killers
I worked with this man who was a senior, not my supervisor but we were on the same team and we'll handle projects together. He'd ask me "what have you been doing all day", and I saw that as micromanaging and that wasn't even his role to ask me such. Our boss said that's how he is bcs he feels intimidated by the fact that his wife earns more than him. He'll always try to spoil the fun unless he's actually leading the fun. If it's anyone else, he'll withdraw early or make unnecessary comments. So just do you and don't stress yourself

Same thing is happening at my place. The big boss left, now there’s no buffer and we are treated by his boss the way he was treated. Now I see why he left. Anyways. Now the vibe is totally different; I’m looking around for a better place and trying to lay low. I’m hoping the big bosses replacement is hired soon and will course correct this culture shi(f)t. Hope they hire one to lead your team too, and get things back to a more positive culture.

Hoping the same. Its definitely been a huge adjustment and starting to become one of the "quiet quit because of management"

I wouldn't unless you've got some reason to believe said boss will go back to being hands-off again. If that happens, maybe things will go back to the way they were before. I wouldn't bank on it though, and I wouldn't want to wait around for it to when you've already been there 2+ years already.

I worked at a company where similar things happened, a lot of personnel churned and within months things went from pleasant to horrendous. It made me start looking elsewhere. It taught me that people come and go, and things can really change when they do.
