I've raised my concerns multiple times only to be met with defensiveness and even the dismissive line, check yourself. To make matters worse, my direct manager is an extreme micromanager. Every email must go through her for approval. She nitpicks every word and makes mountains out of molehills, and it's clear she's looking for someone to be a carbon copy of herself.

It's demoralizing, stifling, and honestly bizarre. In this economy, I'm grateful to have a job, but it's crushing to realize that someone I looked up to made promises she never intended to keep. Returning to my old company is not an option since I left for a competitor. I've been keeping an eye on opportunities, but the options have been limited.

I still use my own company as an outlet, but it doesn't generate enough income to support me full-time just yet. I love working in this industry, and I know I have so much to offer, but I feel stuck, and it's hard to see which path will lead me to a place where I can truly thrive again. What should I do?

Signed, settling for crumbs under one boss's thumb when the other hired me with a plum but is now keeping mum about why this job is so humdrum.

That's right. Good point. Being stuck in a job that's crushing you is really hard. Being stuck in a job that's crushing you and then you don't know how to change things, that's really hard. Because not only do you feel stuck, but you feel probably disempowered and frustrated and just unresolved. But we don't get to the aha moments where you go like, oh, yes, of course, this was leading to that.

And this person introduced me to that one. And now everything is unfolding as I knew it should. You don't get there without going through these periods of uncertainty. So
