Anyway, I will continue to force change from within towards the greater good of the company until I find something a bit more personally rewarding and/or I take the plunge into one of my various business ideas.
On the good side, the pay and benefits are very good and most of the people are outstanding.

i'm sorry to hear that you don't like your job onetime. that's exactly what i was afraid of when i graduated from college. i didn't want to get some sort of business job where i had to go to work dressed all nicely and then play the stupid politics games at work. i worked in manufacturing for several years, and it never ceased to amaze me how messed up companies are on the inside. and i'm not just talking about small companies. huge ones too. there is so much infighting it's impossible to get anything done! that's why i like to work with my hands. because i can see the product of my work right away, and as an auto mechanic, which i hope to be some day soon, my hands are my work, and the politics i would have to deal with would be minimal.
