    The one about "developing coping mechanisms rather than skills" definitely resonated. Life isn't gonna be perfect though so learning how to cope with less than ideal situations is a required skill.

You're bored, and your coworkers are bored too (or boring).

This job isn't what you thought it would be.

You know there's no future in this job or this company, none that you want anyway.

You have an offer for a better job elsewhere.

Your boss changed.

Your new boss is adding introducing red tape.

Your new boss is dumber than your old boss.

Your team's best / most experienced people are jumping ship.

you have less patience and become irritated easily which blends into personal life too

you do not feel like helping any team members

you feel tenseness around your heart area whenever something related to work is on your mind

What a small world, I met Cate back a long time ago when she used to live in Ottawa before her Google stint.

A kind person with a strong passion and always open to speaking her mind.

Lots of check marks but I also make high six figures so no way out.
