You've basically nailed it for the most part, yeah (down to the LinkedIn/Indeed scrolling on my spare time).
Like, I get great working conditions. I don't hate the job itself. The people I work with just make my life absolutely miserable. Doesn't help that the business has the "more years of experience = more qualified for leadership" mentality, and half the people above me are completely clueless about the most basic shit needed for work.
I genuinely think I'd stick around if it wasn't for the people in my team, but management seems determined to keep me with the current one, no matter how many times I ask. Their desire to keep on that team is the thing that's making me leave.
The Peter Priciple is a nefarious little middle and upper management goblin. While I don't expect bosses to have all the answers, I do expect them to be competent in basic leadership and promoting a strong team work structure. The easiest way to do this is by building cohesion through a team that self-sustains and works through issues without necessarily bringing in a manager, and through strong compensation - not just in salary, at all levels.
Your values aren't being met and your leadership team has eroded your trust in them. Even from this short interaction I can tell what at least two of those values are. So there's no way I could blame you for wanting to move on. Here's hoping you land somewhere awesome when the time comes!
