Wow... This situation must be more common than I thought.
I've had a few jobs in my lifetime that left me with the feelings you posted here... The beatings will continue until morale improves.
These points:
- working for unethical people
- busting my ass while others sit and watch
- watching horrible decisions made by those for their own benefit
were ultimately the biggest reasons I've left jobs.
In one place I worked, we created software for the financial industry and sold it in regions, like such-and-such county or city. Then our office setup one of our systems and competed under the table with the regional customers around us.
Scummy. Ultimately, I left over this issue and it is still my favorite job I've had or will ever have. All because one guy got greedy.

- Shorel 14y agoI don't use or recommend Microsoft tools because of this. They are good, technically speaking, but they will always be scummy. Otherwise, if I am ever successful, Microsoft will clone my business. I think it has happened to almost all their partners. Unless they are bought by Microsoft, like the Sysinternals guys. That's the only good exit.
