Last day of whining.

Half a year ago I was known as a "high-performer". I worked on big projects and my bosses loved me. I had been doing the job for a while and in order to get promoted I need to gain more experience.

A team came to me and said they needed someone creative to find new opportunities. This was my forte'. What I was known for. I switch jobs...

I am so pissed. All day I work on minutae. I have to track down every movement of variables and offer an explanation. Almost always its volatility and it never results in a business decision. The VP who hired me sends out emails "I need new ideas'. I reply and never get any feedback. My co-workers all have PhDs but do clerical work. We chase down every random thought the VP has. One of my teammates told me a great idea. He had put together a presentation sent it to our boss and..... nothing.

My job is not what was communicated. I wasn't desperate and others would have hired me. My ratings are suffering and I am miserable. I really feel my life has been reduced to nothing.

Anyway I'm done complaining. It depresses my wife and isn't fair to anyone. Now I need to focus on opportunity.

So now I have to leave my company because they have a policy that you have to wait 18 months to switch jobs. I am going to try to work with other teams to find projects I can hang my hat on but It will be tough. Tah tah I hae work to do
 
sometimes you get the gold mine other times you get he shaft. Can you talk to your boss and tell him your concerns?

My immediate boss has her hands tied and is not the problem it is the VP. I discussed with my immediate boss and she has the same frustrations.
My VP is very approachable and will discuss after year end compensation is finalized. I really can't wait to see if there is going to be a new direction.
