...See more I’ve had a lot of good and bad work experiences and environments and I very much understand and appreciate that bad environments can quickly become toxic and untenable. I’m afraid that is exactly what has happened to my current job. My previous employer went similarly- good to great to good to awful to “if I don’t get out of here they will take my soul….” so I was thrilled by the new opportunity at a new employer- and the best part was many of my colleagues were my previous colleagues. New but not unknown. I was working for an old boss and happy about it. Until they laid him off. Now I’m stuck here, having signed a contract to stay at least a year or be required to pay back my signing bonus. The market I also rough out there — no desire to truly compete against the people who absolutely need a job when I have one. But it’s becoming increasingly obvious that what I was brought here to do is no longer necessary. My previous boss and I had a plan to change systems- so I spent the first several months focusing on transition. Now that he’s gone, the person I report to doesn’t think we will do that - ever. “No support for it” I have been asked to hire for a couple of new positions. Everyone I interview and move forward is rejected by the guy above me for reasons I can’t even understand… we have very different perspectives on the jobs but these people will be reporting to me so I don’t know why he has been so hard on them. I am this close to quitting…. But really need to have something lined up first. I’m the “breadwinner”’ in my marriage. I’m just miserable. trying to find a way to get through it.
