02 Your boss has a massive ego problem, knows nothing about design, and treats the staff like peasants that must pander to his or her every whim.
03 Politics have started to become more important than creativity, and you’re sick of walking on eggshells all the time.
04 The job you do has become routine, and your passion for the field is becoming increasingly muted by uninspiring briefs.
05 Design by committee has taken over, and all of your best ideas are being mercilessly edited and unnecessarily ruined by others.
06 The boss sees you as the same person that you were when you joined the company five years ago – and treats you as such.
07 You never get the credit for the fantastic work you do, and yet the project managers sit atop gold-plated pedestals.
08 Despite being multi-talented, you’re creatively flatlining, stuck working on web banners with no thinking behind them, and aren’t learning anything new.
09 It has become apparent that the job you do is a dead-end and there’s nowhere left to go in the company but sideways.
10 Minutiae takes up so much of your time that you never get a chance to concentrate on the all-important creative tasks.
