As the title says, I’m feeling really demotivated by all the recent happenings and just the year we’ve had at this company. I don’t know whether I should try to find another job internally or start looking externally. It’s so hard to find a new job right now, but I just feel depressed and anxious in my current situation. I’ve been at IBM around 8 years, so I’ve seen a lot of ups and downs over the years, but this time feels different. Is anyone else in a similar boat? How are you navigating? I feel like I’m trying to find the light again here.

I work with some amazing, talented people at IBM but I also work with some people who are utterly useless and I wonder how they get by and have a job every day. Does anyone else observe this? How do you or do you avoid working with slackers and people who are perfectly happy allowing you to do all the work or spoon feeding them information they should definitely know or at least be able to figure out themselves?
