I hate my job. No, not just a mild annoyance, I truly hate my job. And as I sit here thinking this, I wonder "how does this happen?"
I started here and loved my job. The actual specifics of what I do haven't changed. IN fact, I love the work itself. However, the people and management here, by and large, are awful. So, what should be a great job, has deteriorated into a drain on my life and a source of constant irritation (while here, at least).
I believe the problem stems from the fact that everyone here does their thing, and doesn't like any change that affects their territory. So, if change occurs (and I am a catalyst of much change as the marketing manager) then they complain and want meetings to "discuss" things. As a result, work that should take a month to do, takes 4 (and counting). Ugh! And my supervisors are no help. I have one that doesn't want to handle marketing and is trying to shift me to another department and our CEo is a spineless (albeit nice) guy who does not make decisions and stick by anything or anyone. How has he been CEO for 10 years? More importantly, how has this organization not been run into the ground?
Imagine if you will the bedroom of two 2 year olds. It's a mess. My job is to clean up this mess. Unfortunately, the 2 year olds are still playing with everything while I am trying to clean. This is my day to day life here.
I know I am not alone. I have some allies here that sympathize. However, I am tired of fighting against the stream. I am actively looking for other work, and hopefully God will smile upon me and grant me a reprieve.

I feel a little better now...
