I find meaningfulness in my job but I do not find my job meaningful. Once upon a time, we were doing great work and were actually able to touch the edges of the whole "change the world" mantra that is thrown around so carelessly in technology startup/company culture. Today, we have outgrown ourselves and have failed to maintain a relationship with our core purpose in the process. Most of our new efforts fail to deliver any of their promised utility to their intended customers. We're in the healthcare space; That's why I originally came here.
There is a legacy app that I'm occasionally tasked to maintain or extend. It's still chugging along in production and it's actually touching real humans and providing a very useful and pragmatic service to the thousands of people that use it daily. That thing has kept me around but I'm starting to focus increasingly more on my own life and making my own meaning, now that this place that I used to love is showing signs of abuse.
