move to a company which actually makes money, preferably doing something anti-cyclical. For example, whatever company conned Musk into thinking that they can assess the value of engineers immediately based on git contributions is probably going to have a great business, first going into companies and selling them the software that lets them do that. Then later when it turns out they fired the wrong people they can sell consultants to replace them. Then later when it turns out the consultants can't take over the systems well enough without the fired engineers they will be able to sell reduction services yet again.

It will take four years and several big bankruptcies before people catch on that they are being conned. By that time there will be other companies coming up that you can jump ship to.
