I'm smart enough that I could find another job in another career field if I wasnt happy here. I think you are smart enough as well.
Maybe it's time to rethink your career expectations/ choices? You are both appathetic and angry. Maybe some self refection would be good for you?
In case the OP is still around, this is the old "If you don't like working for less apply to AA." argument I told you about.
It comes in many flavors. Some are angry, some condescending. The most effective (I have noticed) is when they try to make themselves sound reasonable and that they are just trying to "help".
If you want to make me happy stop voting in terrible CBAs. Draw a line in the sand and don't cross it for a COLA adjustment. Then I can finally be happy, since it's so important to you.
