helplessdev··on Ask HN: In a difficult situation at work. Need advice
Honestly it matters very little to me who gets credit, and I definitely do have people that I enjoy working with.

Sadly with the direction this project is heading, with K's role in this project, and with the lack of positive change from upper management after so feedback from many parties has really taken its toll/disheartened me. I do agree I need to find another job, it's just a bit hard now during holiday seasons and where I'm located.

Definitely working on it though, thank you.

I definitely do need some leads. The situation is getting increasingly taxing on me both mentally and technically despite my attempts to keep calm. How do I reach out to you?

I do not see this as you kicking me while I'm down. I appreciate all of the advice in this thread. I've figured I need to leave (bit hard now that's it the holiday season though), but the HN community has always been tremendously insightful and supportive throughout my years here.

I'm certain there are many things I could have done differently for a better outcome, and I may not be able to identify all of them, but even taking to heart a couple of these will help a lot.

Thanks again!

Thank you. I agree. There is not a doubt in my mind that I could have done certain things better, and I certainly do not deny that. I still have a lot to learn.

I agree. I feel partly responsible for their frustrations on K's team and ultimately, their departure. Sometimes I wonder if things would be better had I not made that suggestion.

And no, I did not.
