Last week I attended management training at work. Got all excited about my job. Then I come back to my job and reality sets in. I have a safe, but boring job. It pays pretty well. They don't work me to death. But I have zero influence to fix anything. I'm not allowed to fix any problems except my own team's problems. I haven't been on any decent projects in years, and can't get promoted because I can't get on anything impactful. They don't promote much anyway, because every new leader has to bring their cronies. I want to accept that my job has no growth potential, because it's a safe place to be. Damn them for sending me to leadership training and getting me excited to make a difference in my career. #TGIF
