I felt very similarly towards the end at my last job. I knew the boat was sinking, things had been slow
for months, but I stayed aboard because I was too depressed/scared to bother to look for anything
else. Making the sinking ship worse, I worked directly under someone who seemed to make a daily
effort to make me feel like crap about my abilities. I was 1 of the 4 developers left by then, so I
couldn't have been terrible. I do acknowledge that the crap situation and crap manager made me into
a crappier employee, so it wasn't a fantastic situation for anyone. Finally, another company was purchasing
our company and deciding who they would keep. The morning before Thanksgiving, I was told I wasn't
one of the ones staying. To say I was relieved would be a huge understatement; it was seriously one of
the happiest days of my life.
It didn't hurt that within 2 hours of being told I was being laid off, I had another interview lined up for the
following Tuesday thanks to a former coworker. It was the same sort of job, but turned out to be a much
better situation and paid better as well. So, I guess the moral of the story is it might not be the work you're
doing that sucks, but the situation you're in. A change of scenery may be all you need.
Oh for Pete's sake.
