Definitely. I wanted to mark ALL the options except the last two (the ones that say fired). All other options apply.

Yes please. I chucked in my last position for at least two, more likely three of the choices.

... can I vote for what'd be my excuse if I leave my current employer in the next year or so?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

My first day on the current job was May 19th 1997 (although technically we changed companies in September of 1998 I am on the same research team and I still have the same boss as I did on my first day).
The job before that was a short contract just out of the university.

I still have the same job, just moved locations at my request.
Primary reason, stagnation and ground hog day setting in.

As discussed in the Lounge last week[^], I left because of events that happened after a football match.
The reasons I wanted to leave (or were happy to leave) were many, I was disillusioned with the management after various changes to them, I was made promises about my own career progression that were not happening and I could not see myself progressing any further within the company, but most of all because I had stopped having fun, I was miserable and being miserable is not good for you.
History repeats.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

The last company I worked for was bought out three times. The last company to buy us out liquidated the assets and the CEO of that company held a million dollar toga party for his wife's birthday. True story[^]
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I mean, if you're gonna go, may as well go out with a bang.

 True, but I think the bang hasn't stopped, rather, ahem, just a well deserved change in venue...

Still working with my first employer (not counting the paper round I had when I was still at school)

They didn't mantain what they promised and I was doing boring jobs under my qualification. My motivation went down to minimum levels and then I changed job.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Top 3 were things that were bugging me...
I thought I would be there forever ... then they changed management ... and things went down hill from there ...
Management issues:
New management didn't know how to spend and save, money was being wasted on needless things, and not things that we actually needed.
Lack of opportunity &
Problems with the way they code:
Because so much $$ was being thrown away they tried to cut costs by ditching new, more "cutting edge" projects (that weren't making them money as they were still under development), and instead decided to try and further develop the older software that is over 12 years old, written poorly, and in a language that isn't actually a language!

Moved from coding to lecturing about how to code...

But the most important issue is Lack of opportunity & Management issues...after that obviously salary also...

I'm like this...
I give birth to the kid, I feed him, he starts walking and when he starts going on his own it's time for me to move on.
My last company change was mostly related to money but it also matched the period when there was nothing else I could give to the project neither the project give back to me.
Time to move on!!
