I left that job shaking my head. Worked my tail off with a master’s, got crumbs for pay. The person who replaced me had no degree and got a huge bump just for being friendly with the boss. Makes you wonder why you even bother doing things the right way. Education means nothing when favoritism decides everything. I'm glad to be gone. It took me a while to find something else, bit now I actually like my job once again. That place nearly destroyed me.

No good memories. But, lots of nightmares and bad dreams.

@op - the best people were suddenly shown the door. The worst mental cases stayed - in charge. Sad people, sad place.
This place has changed me in so many ways and not in good ones. No longer do I want to help others succeed, because their failure is my survival. I used to try and lift everyone around me to do better, to be better. But all of that is now gone. What a sad, pathetic person I have become.
