GTFO is easier said than done during these times. Jobs are about picking the set of awfulness one can tolerate. Microservices are one of the lesser awful because they multiple the work by 10x. Management is probably picking microservices because they want a huge team so they can get a promo. Believe me, I know the awful I am putting up with. I just hit 20 years and management doesn't want to know what I think. In fact four months into the job I've had probably 2 opportunities to talk tech with the manager, but I won't, because they picked the architecture and told me about it through Jira tasks.
