It sounds like you have a bad relationship with your PM. I've been in that situation before (seriously, check my post history), and it poisoned my attitude for quite a while. There are a lot of terrible PMs out there, but there are also a lot of really good ones, and you learn to suss out which is which when you're interviewing for a new team. If you read Rands in Repose and start wishing your PM actually thought and cared about the things he talks about, maybe you need to find a new job.
