Probably just leave your current job. The problem might be with them, not with you.
It has to go both ways, though. At my last job, when I first talked to the CTO (my boss) about leaving, he asked me to think about it and talk again the next day. The next day he postponed the meeting. Then, at the day of the meeting, he was out of the office. It had been 5 days since the first talk so I chose to escalate the matter and, in an Arrested-Development-episode kind of situation, I learned that the CEO and the CTO decided to mysteriously leave for vacation because they felt burnout.
If you feel like things are not going well and you have other offers, jump. It's always easier to find work while you're employed than it is once you're unemployed, especially with the state of the economy. You feel that you owe them something, but they do not appear to share that view (that they owe you something). Go to greener pastures while the going is good.
Dont cry about it. Just switch companies. If you are high value it should be easy.
Just leave. It's not your fault. If the cost is your well-being, fuck the company.
You're going to bug your workplace? Are you trying to get fired? Why not just quit?
I've been in a similar situation. There's nothing worth salvaging. It looks like your best option is to get out. Start looking for your next job immediately. It's easier to get hired when you're currently employed. Don't consider any counter-offers they might make. Leave quietly and professionally. As tempting as it might be to make a dramatic exit, there's no upside, in terms of your career. And take comfort in the fact that you'll probably one day look back o
Surely you wouldn't have one of those if you switched jobs and the company didn't want you to leave?
I definitely know that feeling. Prepare to leave is my best advice.But I'd advise (depending on your circumstances of savings, chances of getting a new job soon etc) to not simply quit, but use a bit of time to really put yourself in a strong position to get a new job w/out the pressure of needing one.if its a big company maybe you could transfer to a new team ?
True, if you are not in a position to risk leaving this job then I suggest you save up at least 3 months worth of living expenses and then quit. Bottom line is this company is screwing you over.
