My fiat mine has become such a weight on my shoulders. I joined in January. Four months later, I realize that its projects are going nowhere. Especially that the whole mandate is to amalgamate many different projects that already exist in the organization. The amount of politics that my superiors have to play just to intergrate one project is beyond anything I've seen. Every other department only pretends to help, but don't want to lose control over their projects.

The only political leverage the department has it is funded and has the backing of the head of the organization. Not little, but only goes so long.

I was asked to join due to my technical experience in deep technologies that the department is supposed to integrate around. Turns out, I'm just another pair of hands and eyes to check through the checklists and support with "technical arguments" of how things should be done, without any real influence on anything. Needless to say, the job description I received and the interviews I had with them was in a completely different direction.

In short, I became a paper-pusher of sorts. This makes me just leave engineering behind and go open a restaurant somewhere. I don't want to deal with technology no more.
