I hate marketing. But I tell people how great a career it is. I've been in this industry for 10 years and I want to get out but don't want to take the pay cut.

Please leave. I just had an existential crisis over the week... and I realized we all eventually get bored with what we do - but it is what we do with that boredom that makes us different. Every industry, every job has its challenges with boredom.

If you lose the passion, though, there is no coming back..

I was looking to staff a position, and it is clear who still has that spark in their eyes and who has lost it.

Yesterday my boss scheduled a meeting with me for something he needed help with. He was 15min late & took a phone call from his boss during…10min. This has become a habit. At one point I even stoped scheduling our 1:1’s because he misses them so often but he realized a couple months later & told me to start scheduling them again. I told him they aren’t necessary but he insisted. What do I do? It makes me feel less important/unappreciated. I rather not even schedule to meet. Advice?
