I was reading an article today about being burnt out and how it was a form of resentment. And after reading it, I had to agree.
My burnt out state at my current company is a form of resentment. In the way that I resent how I've been treated in the almost 9 years I've been here.
Twice now at this company, I've been relegated to Desktop Support (my title and main job is Network Admin), which in most companies, is a thankless job. Thankless, because even though there are a good number of people that say "thank you" when you make their computer work again, it's the upper brass that couldn't give two shits about that reliable employee.
The first time, I quit, went to another company for 3 months and then got wooed back into the Borg. Two years ago, they laid off our much appreciated by many desktop guy and it's been going downhill ever since. The last few months have been particularly cruel and undeserving, which lead me to decide to finally set a date to move on and stop the employment abuse.
Carrying this level of resentment has been an albatross and one that I will be happy to get rid of.
Which will also turn that thankless position in for one that is once again appreciated.

Your company has a serious problem with taking good people for granted. I will be delighted to see you walk away. You are so good, so deserving. It's an outrage, really, and I'm happy new things are percolating. :)
