At times the work/life balance just didn't exist, I saw several team members beside myself be asked to take on more and more work when bandwidth was already slim. I felt I left the company on pretty amicable terms, but was very disappointed to learn later on that my manager and others refused to provide a reference for me for no discernible reason. I would hope that my previous team members would be happy for my career growth and not be spiteful, but that didn't seem to be the case.
