Wow, I have read through a lot of the comments some of them are pretty interesting. Personally, I have become rather disillusioned with the corporate culture. I believe largely they are becoming less and less interested in fostering the development of their employees. It is all about the short term bottom line. Particularly in the IT industry there has been a huge influx of "qualified" people. From my experience the general consensus is that "if you don't want to learn hoe to do your job better on your time, we will find someone who will." That could be some kid just out of college that they can pay a fraction of what an experienced person. (If that statement makes me sound like an old fart... I just broke the 30 barrier) Most companies are not interested in if you have a family or other interests outside of work.
Maybe it is just an escape, but my answer has been to tell the corporate culture to 'piss off' and start doing freelance work and start my own business. I'll tell you I might not be making the big bucks quite yet, but I sleep better at night knowing that I don't have to get up and face the "Bob's"... The money will come.
