[quote=Anonymous]I've been at my job for 10 years. I've outgrown it, and while there's other responsibilities I could take on that are more interesting, I don't think that if I stayed with my group I'd ever be able to move completely away from some of the projects I work on now that I'm tired of. I'm bored and I think it shows in my work, but I still get good reviews. Not sure what this says about my boss and his awareness of what I'm actually doing.

I make more where I am than I think I could get if I switched companies. I have a lot of vacation time where I am and a lot of freedom and flexibility. I like the people and the commute. I know that I'm lucky and have it good. But I know I'm in a rut and it's making me miserable. I've begun dreading Monday on Saturday morning, and I used to be excited to go to work.

My question is - should I discuss this with my boss? I'd like to give them an opportunity to make me happy and to do that I'd need to give them some time to make it happen. But I'm afraid if I say I'm unhappy and thinking about leaving, what can we do to make this better it will backfire and I'll essentially be forced out before I'm ready. The other alternative is to just start looking for a job and give them notice when I'm ready to leave.

I think what I really need is a kick in the pants to get me to leave. No matter how unhappy I am here there's comfort in the familiar.[/quote]
