Pros
You're Not an Employee Here. You're a Load Bearing Wall They're Planning to Demolish.
Cons
Where do I start.
Management operates with the confidence of people who have never once had to deliver on anything they've promised. They don't understand the services they sell, the infrastructure behind them, or the contracts they sign. That's fine though, because they've got engineers for that and sales reps who will promise the customer literally anything to close a deal. The truth is optional. The contract is decorative. You, the engineer, are expected to make the impossible happen after the fact with no additional resources and no push back allowed.
And when you do push back, when you point to a contract and say "this is what we agreed to, in writing, in plain language," you'll be told not to "take it so literal." The signed agreement between your company and the customer, apparently, is more of a vibe than a commitment. Nobody cares what the contract says until the customer complains. Then suddenly it's a legally binding document and somehow your fault for not delivering on terms that management told you to ignore in the first place.
Once you've been labelled, "resister to change," then comes the real play. They'll ask you to document everything you do. They'll frame it as "getting you help." Don't fall for it. What they're actually doing is building a run book so they can hand your job to the next person willing to say yes to everything at half your salary. You're not being supported. You're being exploited.
And just to put a bow on it, they'll slap a non disparagement clause in your contract so you can't talk about any of this publicly. Bold move from a company whose other contract terms are questionable at best. They bank on you not knowing your rights and not having the energy to challenge it after they've already drained you. Whether that clause would actually hold up is another conversation entirely, but the intent is clear: silence the people they burned so the next round of hires never sees it coming.
