I've being in the same job for the last 8 years. The pay isn't the greatest and I spend more time dealing with office politics than IT issues. When I started in my current job I was excited and spent all my free time learning everything I could to become a better Sysadmin. As time has gone by the amount of office politics and overall bullshit I have to deal with has increased due to upper management changes. To quote "Office Space" I spend my days doing just enough to not get fired. I still love working in Information Technology I just hate where I work. I know the easiest solution is to find a different job. I've decided to work on a cert to make myself a little more marketable. I part I'm concerned about it taking my current bad attitude with me when I go. Have you guys( and Gals) dealt with IT burnout? Any advise you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
