As I muse about my career today I'm also thinking about my last job, for the big online fine art marketplace that's just a giant front for international money laundering.
They had Russian oligarch investors as well as American oligarch investors. Now I understand why.

That's the job where they brought in a new CEO to make us more profitable and he had them cut our phenomenal benefits and then made HR tell us as if it was good news that we have more "appropriate" healthcare options.
I called out HR and the new CEO in the main company chat and refused to have the conversation in private.
Every single employee at that company had those great benefits, even non-engineers. Loved that. They framed it as a mistake.

After a week of me saying "But you cut my pay without notice" in public I guess morale was taking a hit because they stopped trying to get me to have a conversation in private and instead agreed to give everyone an extra $1000 to offset the loss (not nearly enough, but thanks).
It's funny, they had someone rumored to be Putin's girlfriend as an investor, they had the "good" Kushner, there were trumps in the client database etc.
I didn't understand the relationship between art, money laundering and the klept yet. Now I do. Gross.

I've still got friends there, I hope they're doing okay. I just have no fucks left to give for companies that are contributing to the general state of decay that the Klept has us all living in.
