i switched jobs 4 years ago for the same reason after being at my old one for almost 6 years, its been a steady decline into the same old patterns for me. it seems rare to find a job that can keep up with it's employees all year round and im thinking that i have to find a way to create habits that gets me through the highs and lows. or maybe i have to keep looking, i don't know.
