"Boss is 90% of employee experience" was only true for 1 of my 4 employers so far (across 20 years).
Now the bosses are great but I hate the nature of my job deeply and sincerely. Maintenance and bugfixing, only reward after tormented patching of a pile of crap is more piles of crap coming up.

- Ocerge 8y agoI'm not quite to your level of distaste for your job, but I absolutely empathize. I don't know if this is the case for you or not, but I don't find any joy in software; I just happen to be good enough at it and it pays well. What has worked for me is largely pulling a minor Peter Gibbons from Office Space: work hard enough to not be a drag on my team, but no more. I go to work to make money, not make more work for myself by spinning on a treadmill.
