I used to cry in my car during lunch. If it’s because of your work, please find a different job. Good luck!
My place of work used to be downright awesome. Pulled me out of some deep pits when I first ended up there.
Few years ago the owner/CEO sold his 51% shares to another company, and it's steadily been downhill from there. No more bonuses. No budget for fun stuff. Openings never get filled, but no raises for the remainers either. All the really top people (management & dev) left, most of the ones who stayed weren't that great (including myself). And then they started filling positions, including the CEO, from the "mother company".
On paper, it's still awesome. In practice, it's anything but.
Took me the better part of two decades to finally land a decent job and I feel like I'm back at square one with nothing to show for it.
Wow, that's awful. I wish you lots of luck finding your next position. It's really hard to look for a new gig when the day-to-day takes so much from you, but keep trying. You'll be free of that bs eventually.
So sorry you're going through it. Hoping you can find the strength to polish up your resume and spend some time on your days off looking for a better place to work. The best time to be looking for a job is when you already have one.
