*sigh*
So I left my old job, and joined a new startup just to do a OMY until I can leave Silicon Valley for good next year. I thought surely after 20+ years of this crap, I can stomach OMY...
Not so sure.
The new company is okay, and has a promising product, so the stock options after getting past the one year cliff might be worth something someday, but after two months into the job, my boss is already making me rethink this.
He's one of the biggest idiots I've ever worked for (which is saying a lot because I've worked for some doozies), is totally ineffective, gets way too bogged down in "analysis paralysis", seems to be more interested in talking about work rather than doing any but yet gets paranoid because things don't seem to be moving along as quickly as he'd like, and finds fault with everything. He's the kind of person that no matter how good a job you think you did preparing something, he immediately starts picking it apart.
I'm not the kind of person who sits around wanting compliments all the time, but the flip side of the coin is that I also don't expect to sit around and have my work shredded by somebody who isn't nearly as competent as he thinks he is.
BS bucket is definitely overflowing. I'm ready for this 9-to-5 part of my life to be over. I just can't stand working around these kind of morons anymore.
