based on layoffs, morale, etc, doesnt seem like there is much upside and seems like an impending crash on the stock.

Lets stop pretending there is a "family" here or whatever else is being put into your kool aid. I'm biding my time here, taking as many paychecks as I can and then leaving as soon as I can.
