I survived an acquisition, moved to Denver, moved back to MN, dealt with inept management beyond my control or comprehension and now, with another new wave of VPs and directors - after they just fired the entire upper level 3 years ago saying we needed to "trim" that level, I'm finding this place more and more insufferable as my job titles, duties, and function changes - yet again.

For those people that have been through this before, and I know this is personal, but what was your breaking point to finally change careers? Or if you stayed with your company through everything you had endured, what was the light at the end of the tunnel you held out for?

Just one of those years so far...
Just keep in mind that whever you go you will find "problems" with fuked up management etc.

You have to ask yourself is the job itself secure and fullfilling to you and is that enough to keep you there?

Just questioning it is good. I can feel you moving in another direction. You are smart for a redneck and pretty driven. It might be time for you to reschool or look elsewhere. You've been complaining about your job for years, not Kam style, but nevertheless it's probably time.

BTW I can see you now as a future yoga teacher. It's a great fullfilling career.
