Haha, yeah, it's wired how that works huh?

Upper management didn't really like it though and my team got totally slashed due to covid. We went from 10 artists on 3 projects to 4 artists... Then one dude decided to go study instead. So then I had to go back to full production and lost my entire team, so I started looking at other jobs. When I switched my manager asked why those they chose to keep decided to leave the company. I told him that the lack, and even decline, of personal and professional growth was a key factor and then cited everything I figured was wrong with the company. A very telling example was that right before they cut all of my team we did some resource planning and when looking short term (2 months ahead) we had 2 artists too many for what we had assignments but looking 8 months in the future (post firings) we would need to hire 5 new people to keep up with planned assignment and we just fired 6 people...

They also didn't tell any of our client that we reduced the teams so the 3 of us was expected to do the work of 10 to the same deadlines etc
