Listener (Aaron)

The other sysadmins and I are supposed to work as a team on various projects, but there's very little teamwork because the office is largely run by a clique consisting of the team lead and a couple of his buddies. while the rest of us have to figure things out on our own. Meanwhile, our boss works almost exclusively from home and seems like he couldn't care less about the day-to-day.

Also, some of my company's internal processes seem very confusing and somewhat shady. I don't want to go on about it, but I'm seriously considering reporting them to the Better Business Bureau or anyone else that I can blow the whistle to. I've already decided to look for a new job after I've worked here for at least a year, unless something massive changes.

But this ordeal has made me reconsider my career path. When I think about some of the best jobs I've had, they've typically been for small businesses and universities, and I'm contemplating moving back in that direction. Problem is, those jobs don't usually pay the same as a Fortune 500 corporation does.

I have a wife and a young child now, so how much money I bring home is more important than ever. Plus, as I've gotten older, I've realized that I've allowed my ego to interfere in my career more than I should have, and I think I might be doing the same in this instance. As much as I detest this place, I think I stand a decent shot of moving up their ladder if I just focus on grinding away.

I'm about to turn 36, so I don't think I have that much time left to keep making career pivots. Do you think I should move away from this corporate IT hellhole? Should I just grow thicker skin and accept that I have to tolerate a little misery if it means providing for my family? Or are my expectations just completely out of line with reality and I just need to look at employment differently?

Signed, going out of my skull when the work is so dull, but it all might be null because it's too late to mull an entirely new call.

Oh, that's kind of cool.
