What great luck for you!
Today I sent the:

IO-InfoOnly: Great Read at "Strange new worlds, and programming languages..."

to the SATLUG mailing. Read the whole article, not just the excerpt in
the post. Microsoft kept doing the exact same thing to the writer of
the article that is happening to you.

There is competent management, incompetent management and management
whose competence is in destroying your confidence in your ability by
giving you "No Win" tasks and gloating when you fail.

Decision Time!

It's your career.
Do what you think is best for you and your career.
No one else will.

Keep the resume circulating at all times and have at least 6 months of
living expenses salted away.
My whole life would have been different if I had had those living
expenses put away.

Good luck...
