Yet… I'm more unhappy at this job than any job I can remember. The actual work I do is horrific. Not much actual engineering. Mostly slack conversations and meetings. Sometimes I write a throwaway technical document that may get read by a person or two. Our technology is a mess. Engineers with identical titles can be brilliant or totally incompetent. Politics rules everything-you get marching orders and then the rug gets pulled without explanation… "We're doing this other thing now."
