Eh, sometimes it does help though. I agree with you that OP's situation isn't tenable in the long term, but switching jobs without figuring out if there's something else that's overlooked isn't a good idea in the long term either.
It's hard to know if that's the case from OP's description, but sometimes bad habits do have a deleterious effect on people's careers, and having an external party discuss their current situation helps with that.
