Leadership lacks some common sense

We've had many people quitting and getting laid off. That's caused a big problem cause most of the best folks we had are gone now. Even the leadership team bailed since they didn't believe in where the company was heading. And let me tell you, things are pretty chaotic here. The basics aren't even set up properly in different departments like engineering, product, HR, and all that. The only thing that matters is showing some result *immediately* at all cost. It's a big mess. Here's the weirdest part: almost everyone here is Chinese, but we're supposed to build a local news product for Americans. It just doesn't add up, right? And you'd think talent and good communication would be valued, but nope! The CEO is all about seeing people working late and following his requests to a T. He churns the org regularly and forces them to conform to his whims... which are nearly always ill-conceived. Honestly, it feels like we're going backward instead of moving forward. I've been here for over three years, and it's like we're back to where we started. I don't believe this company can bounce back anytime soon.
