Yea, and then get burned out and bored because it stagnates and no recognition happens for going above and beyond to do well. I additionally get frustrated when I suggest optimizations (something I’m just wired to find) and they are ignored. Even when they could make a huge positive impact.

Sort of a double-whammy for never wanting to stay put long. About a year is the most I can stay with a single job before it all gets overwhelming (lack of recognition, hostility, burnout).

My current job wanted me to move into management to make these things happen, but I don’t want -more- work, I want to have my perspective appreciated damnit!
