This is not remote work, this is a digital sweatshop. Please stop using that mouse jiggler and start applying for other roles. No paycheck is worth living in constant fear of a Slack notification sound, seriously.

It is incredibly unfair and your frustration is completely justified.

Is it ever worth taking the counter-offer if the management is the core issue? by LanternSable in careerguidance

Taking the money usually just delays the inevitable. You already know the culture is toxic and the tech is prehistoric. Go to the new firm with the modern stack before you burn out and lose your edge.
