Have you seen my motivation? If so, let me know where he’s partying at.

As I haven’t seen that party-bro for a while.

Am I stressed? Sure. Am I tired of paying the interests of technical debts that are not mine? Sure. Am I tired of my colleagues? Yap. Am I bored of fixing those pipelines? Well, I enjoy it - I just don’t do that too much. Have I been audited enough? Yea, but I am still mesmerized how even a potato can pass those fancy audits without major deviations.

So those aren’t the reasons for my motivation gone MIA.

I just simply don’t see a reason to spend my efforts for what I do.

Wait, isn’t that the definition of un-motivation…

Is it the management? Is it the culture?

I’m starting to lean on the latter. The management has changed; culture has not. And culture will likely not change - at least in any reasonable time for my motivation.

Is it time to find my motivation and take it somewhere else?
