It's impossible (IMHO) to avoid things like that. In this situation, I couldn't predict the future - hiring a new "leadership" (gack!) that transmogrified the organization I joined.

Sometimes companies allow people to try a role/team for a handful of weeks before committing. Would that have helped?

No, because I couldn’t time share with my previous employer.
