This is an incredibly well written, thoughtful post. It's not someone else's job to make you happy. It's your job. How to be happy is something we all work on every day. Nobody can tell you how to do it for you. For me, some things that have helped are group exercise, meditation, social interaction, trying to challenge myself and being creative. Financial security is also important. > I've been trying to make the best of things: the attitude I've tried to have over the past year has been that if I can identify various things that we do wrong at work, and can come up with better ways to do them, then it's almost as good as working somewhere where things actually get done in the right way There's no place that does things perfectly. People deserve to be happy and I think you can find something better than your current situation if you keep looking. It may or may not mean changing your job. Ultimately, what you're looking for may be found in yourself rather than in your workplace or from an answer on the internet. You can still change your job. My advice would be, consider what you want to do, and give it a try. If you're the decision maker then it's the right thing to do. Even if you're not the decider, when you look back and realize that it wasn't your choice, you've still learned something. Good luck!
