[quote=Anonymous]I am miserable at work. I have a fuzzy role in an org with awful culture where despite my best efforts I have no champion, the wrong team, am constantly overlooked, not advocated for and struggling to swim upstream in a maelstrom of internal politics. Each and every day, something humiliating happens. I am paid well however and have not found an alternative role in 3 years of looking that will pay similarly. We cant afford to take a hit where we currently live. 
I'm at the point where the job is starting to infiltrate everything; my self image, my confidence, even my friendships have suffered bc I don't have the psychic energy to do a lot of socializing after putting all my effort into navigating the swamp and trying to grind what's left of my ego into oblivion.
The worst is that on some level I feel like it is all my fault. 
Would love to hear others stories - did you ever get your mojo back? Or did you do something extreme like i am considering and move with kids to a much cheaper COL area so you could take a hit or just take a break entirely. It feels extreme but life is also short. [/quote]
