The key for me in that situation is to identify what it is that I am most unhappy about. Is it a particular individual who makes your life hell? Is it that they enforce their own policies unfairly? Or do you feel like you are wasting your life at tasks you do not enjoy?
The answers will inform your decision about a course of action.

They don't just enforce the policies unfairly, they actually do the complete opposite of the policies. I'm tired of being on a treadmill going nowhere.
- ironmagma 5y agoThis is where I strongly disagree with the adage, "if everyone around you is an asshole, you're the asshole." Because not necessarily; some places are just full of them.
- giantg2 5y agoThe people I work with are great. It's just management that are violating policies to my detriment. The work is boring and/or frustrating, but I would be tolerable if I were treated fairly.
