I was in a similar position to yourself and ended up leaving after 5 weeks. The problem was that my immediate manager didn't have the clout to change things and going up the chain of command got me nowhere. And this was with a big name multinational IT company. There are two things for you to do: 1. Refresh your CV and focus on the positives. Don't rubbish your previous workplace. Explain it away as a difference in priorities and goals. 2. If your immediate manager can't / won't fix the problems go over his head. It might not work (hence step 1). But you could luck out.
