I don't like my job (yiffit.net)

Not just my job, but the entire industry I'm in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don't like it. My skill-set isn't very transferable either.

Wile working for my previous employer, the people around me were amazing, the organization and high level leadership, not so much. Myself and many co-workers left within about 6 months of each other. My old boss is leading a new field office for a different company in the city, and many of my previous coworkers are still working for him. I've been lucky about good direct reports. I hate any meetings that are not technical; I find them draining and pointless. Blind obedience to the agile development process can go die in a hole.
