What a timely question! The job I currently have now has gone from the job I love to the job I hate. I used to say a little prayer every day because I was so thankful for my job until 4 years ago.  Definitely "boss-related".

I have worked for several different presidents at this company and this latest one is a piece of work. I have to make a decision if I can wait him out or move on. I'm well established here after 10 years with benefits, vacation, almost vested for pension, etc. and I have a feeling this job for him is just a stepping stone for him to move on to bigger and better things. Nearly every week someone at the office asks me how I can handle working for him (these are my peers and superiors). I just hate to think about quitting since it could be good here again someday.

In my career, I've rarely been out sick - maybe 1-2 sick days a year. In the past 4 years since working for this boss, I've had 2 major surgeries, I now take an anti-anxiety medication and  high blood pressure medication. Oh--I've gained about 20-25 pounds, too. Somehow I see a connection to my job in all this since my personal life hasn't changed much at all.

Any advice?
