My honest opinion? Leave the job. You seem to be a nice professional, so why really care?

The worst thing is to see so much good will and responsibility wasted on a bad experience. Believe me, I've been there and I know what I'm talking about.

Your boss doesn't appreciate you. Leave. I'm not saying it will be easy - it probably won't - but you really have to contribute in an environment where people recognize you.

Don't sink along with the project. Don't let people blame you being you the only person who really cares.

There must be dozens of companys out there who need a guy like you.

Good luck and believe in yourself!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
