How can I battle frustration and stress at work?
It's not normal job frustration--I like the work I do. It's the people I report to and work with that are causing the frustration and stress.
My manager can't manage his way out of a paper bag with a flashlight and a road map.
My project manager doesn't manage any of the projects I'm working on--the manager is trying to do this with mixed results.
My technical lead is technically suited to data entry only, but is really sweet.
I have no opportunity for advancement.
The reward for all of my hard work is MORE WORK.
Many of my co-workers abuse the privilege of working from home and our flexible hours.
I've searched in vain for another job within 50 miles, but there are no suitable openings.
I don't want to air my concerns and be labelled a trouble-maker, whiner, or negative.
What can I do???
