Oh yeah. I'm miserable. I have a 'dream career' but the reality of it is so unsettling. I work in a laboratory where collaboration only happens if it directly benefits someone's career in an "I'm famous" way... not an "I contributed to an important work" way. This is not unique. It's systemic.
My job largely revolves around seeming important, not doing good work.
