Everyone should read one of the greatest books on human nature and the unforgiving environment of change: "Who Moved my Cheese". It basically explains the reality of human nature, and lays out a strategy of how to effectively deal with a changing and usually negative work environment. Once you can recognise the fact that this management is hell bent on stripping away any value from the job, you can start to make rational decisions regarding your career, your family and your future. You will undoubtedly conclude that nearly anywhere is better than CX. Never mind the fact that you can barely make ends meet, you also have the added insidious aspects of the pollution, your kids growing up in an unnatural environment, a bitter and unhappy wife (there goes 50%+ of your assets)....and obviously I could go on. CX has NO concern regarding your health, your welfare or your long term security. All they care about is using you....and then discarding you There are FAR better places to invest your time and skills. Make the move while you still have time.
