I have been in IT Management for close to 15 years and I really don't like it anymore. Has anyone out there in Lemmy-land ever moved into a technical role after this many years?

Do you just want to bitch? Love that too!

I just recently called it quits from my 10yr j.o.b. as Sr. Tech Analyst. We had an awesome team a couple years ago, but upper Mgmt had their own ideas that went against the grain of the team. Dated Infrastructure neglected after years of warnings ('03 Servers). And a complete lack of trust in their associates. Then, mergers, and new bosses in other time zones, and new HR trying to grasp managing a team remotely. FUCK! I hated it.

And that's when I let my shit go to hell. Hopefully, for the better! Taking time off to reevaluate my career. Rather not work a job that requires me to be available 24/7 in a 9-1-1. Yeah... maybe a company with <50 employees.

In the meantime, I have personal things to work on, to better handle shitty Mgmt. Balance of life is important. I'm done trying to kill myself for a job.
