It's around 10 years i work like that and i was liking it only because projects where always different and there was space and time to improve your coding. The software was almost database management + some calculations, not much else involved. I am unable to learn much from others but it was bearable. In the last years however they assigned me more difficult and ambitious projects (seeing i'm not stupid, eh eh) with little more raise in salary. They know i like computer graphics coding and they thought to use this "feature" of mine. I was not so skilled to say i can produce a commercial software so i accepted anyway, to learn. Also they have seen i am able to design the software myself so i had to study what to do, put ideas, experiment technologies to use, prepare a timetable ALL alone with not people asking me anything (after years i understood it was more because they think i work honestly without slacking BUT also that they are not interested in the details of the products they produce and sell). New things to do involved 3D rendering, 2D rendering and so on so i asked people to help me but they have managed only to use other developers in the office just when they have some free time between other tasks of other projects. Obviously they think i'm me who needs to tell them every day what to do, teach them things they don't know and so on. Lately the great idea to speed up things: hiring a manager to check developers paid x3 times our salary. Now i need to tell him every week what i've done and how much i've to work again to finish everything (he isn't interested and capable of understanding the technical things involved). His main task is to draw gantt charts and sum hours to calculate how much i cost them. This lasts for around an year and i'm quite depressed for that. So i decided to ask them: 1) to raise my salary because i have to work on more roles (analyst, software architect, programmer in every task, now just a part of the whole big software, team leader, coordinator). OR 2) make me work on just one topic (computer graphics because i know it and not one else) OR 3) give me less pressure and shut up Naturally the answer was "we have to think if we have money for the raise, we cannot have so much people/money to work on it, we need to publish it for the end of the year". So i decided to quit as soon as i've finished this (i accepted the work, i'll finish it) and start something myself with more joy and possibly more money in return for my efforts.[/quote]
