At two years, I was already fed up with the lack of progress, but I stuck with them mostly because they could accommodate some very important travel needs in 2016 and early 2017.

Early 2017 they made some serious promises of a promotion, which kept me there until now. Nothing has materialized, so I have escalated beyond polite nudging and I am applying for jobs.

They were a very different company in 2014-2015, and the company culture didn't really decline until 2016-2017.

I have no confidence in them to provide what I need, but I don't want to leave without making my concerns heard, and without giving them a chance to respond. At least then I know that they'll know why I left.

My biggest complaint is my new manager who treats her team like children. I actually care about the company enough to meet with the retired founder after I exit and let him know that his company is about to lose a lot more talent if they don't get things under control.
