Yes. The codebase is best described as a giant pile of hacks.
It's the culture more than the tech that causes this to happen. Every time I offer to refactor I'm told to fix it the fastest way and that's how we've been doing it for 10+years.
Sounds like it's time to get out then. I don't know how hard that would be as you said you moved cross-country, so you could be anywhere (in the US I'm guessing). Remote work is always handy.
Legacy codebases suck, but it doesn't stop newer codebases from sucking just as much. I've learnt that the hard way.
