"My question to you is whether any of you have been in similar situations, and if so, what action did you take? Did you regret moving on, or did you regret staying too long?"
I was in this situation. I hated where I worked, nobody wanted to listen to me, and I felt undervalued. I was smack-dab in the middle of a version 2.0 that was supposed to be released in a couple of months.
I left and it was the best thing I ever did. I have no regrets. On a side note, 10% of the staff was laid off less than 4 months later. Since it was based on seniority, I surely would have been cut.
I moved to another city and started a completely new part of my life.
You need to look out for yourself. Your feelings will only grow worse because it's obvious your boss doesn't want to change. Hearing these "plans" multiple times, your boss is most likely stringing you along to appease your unhappiness.
My last company did this too. Bad times were on the horizon in 2009. I gave them a great plan of action for marketing. They wouldn't allow me to execute it. Over a year later, they then wanted my input because they were going to go out of business. When the plan didn't bring them immediate revenue, they stopped it. I was then let go because they couldn't "afford to pay me" anymore.
This is why I vowed not to work for anyone again.
Most companies owners don't feel the same about you. They would replace you in a second if they could.
