I’ve come closer to quitting
I've come closer to quitting my job than ever before just now... about 10 minutes ago. I got up and walked straight to HR. I fucking hate my immediate management's inability to pull their head out of their asses and run this department the way it should be run. No one here has a spine... or a clue. I work to support my household, but it is living hell every second that I am here. Fuck this place. Every inch of it.
Over a year ago, we drew up an new core design for our corporate headquarters and spend millions on equipment and implementation to provide a redundant tiered infrastructure... core, distribution, access... that would support our current needs and future growth. The design was that of the two top network guys in this Fortune 20, global corporation... a CCIE (me) and a guy with about 25 years of hard network experience (Joe). The design was presented all the way up through the CIO and approved. Now, a year later, my new boss with no technical background to speak of is holding a meeting to discuss collapsing the design to a single core because "it looks like it would be simpler". When confronted about the motive, he retorted with the same my way or the highway attitude that he always gives trying to be funny. I'm a highly skilled, highly experienced engineer that gets paid a lot of money to do my job right. I come from a management background and I sit in a cube that I share with the other top network guy here. There is no respect. There is no trust. There is no quality of life here. There is nothing but disgust and hatred for what once was a job I loved... one that I awoke happy in the morning to come to. Fuck this bullshit. Anyone out there looking for a good CCIE? I'm officially on the market.

Do up your resume and find another job dude, while you have that one. The transitions are so much easier that way, you know the dealio.
Tough it out, but get out.
Go to work naked.
Haha, I’m sorry, but that was funny, Sam.
Damn dude. I’m sorry to hear things have gotten worse. I guess they usually do unless the fucktard manager gets his pinkslip.
