   I seem to be very hot and cold about how I feel about my job. Some days I hate it and think about quitting, but other days, I feel it\\u2019s not that bad and can stick around a little longer. The reason for it seems to change depending on the day, but a lot of it seems to center around the people around me (i.e. developers who need me to Google for them, business people who don\\u2019t understand how to provide requirements), but sometimes I can\\u2019t tell whether it\\u2019s an attitude problem that will follow me anywhere or if it\\u2019s just time to leave. It\\u2019s a relatively small company, so I feel like I would be betraying my manager who has invested a lot in me if I decided to leave so suddenly. I\\u2019d like to give my manager a chance to address my concerns, but I\\u2019m afraid to sour our relationship if I come across as a complainer. I\\u2019m also not confident there\\u2019s any solutions to my current frustrations because it seems to be a company-wide issue. How do I make sense of all of what I\\u2019m feeling?

   I really like my company but their project management is atrocious, ad hoc, and \\u201cold school.\\u201d They\\u2019re not giving me privileges to configure Jira in ways that allow me to get stuff done.

   \\n\\n

   Is there an effective way to convince my CTO that I\\u2019m not going to screw up our secure systems or do I just need to find a new job?
