    Will you really be happier somewhere else? There's a ~50% chance your new job will suck worse than the current one, though likely for different reasons.

    Frankly, it's probably easier to alter a current job than it is to quit and find the perfect one. Finding quality people is a nightmare, even now with "the way the economy is". That puts you in a strong position to affect change. If that doesn't work you can always move on, but at least you tried to make it work.

    • This is a lame attitude. Some jobs are just plain terrible. There's no workaround to malicious/shitty management.bort
    • Okay, lame is a little strong. But it sounds like you've never worked in a truly horrible company. Believe me, sometimes the only solution is escape.bort
    • Well, if you unhappy, take control of your life, make a controlled "pull of the pin" and adios...

    • it does depend on company size and your role. Large structural problems are going to tough to overcome.monNom
