I've stayed employed, but the big place became embroiled in rabid in-fighting among the teams of the different acquisitions. I got tired of the whining and b1tching after a few months, disbanded my team and walked away. Found a small company that needed help, went back on my tools, I am a designer again and loving every minute, I don't supervise, I don't manage, I don't schedule, I don't even check, I just sit in my corner cube and build refineries.
