Dang. And I was planning to get a South Street Hot Dog for din-din tonight.

I thought I recognized the taste but couldn't pin it down to any one ingredient before.

Wait until somebody tells you that the sausages are made from chopped up bits of cows, pigs, horses, donkeys, orang utans....
There is a reason why mother nature gave you some sharper and pointy hair teeth. Now act like it.

I worked here before, and it was toxic. I went to another place and it was great, and I really learned a lot. They wanted me back here when that place closed down. Wanted me to change the world implementing the stuff I learned at the other place.... Couple months and I find out that it's the same. Still toxic.
I gave it some time to see how it would work. 7 Months now, and it just gets worse. If I try to stay to myself and just "do my job" then I have an attitude because I'm not bubbly and talkative like normal.
I've decided I'm moving on. I don't know how/when to tell the boss.
I feel bad for leaving, even worse that this is the second time I've worked here.

Don't tell him 'til you have another position lined up - you know that!
But when you do tell him, tell him why. That way if they do ask you to come back again, you have a bargaining chip with which to beat him over the head: things have to change.

I don't know that it will be productive. I am not sure I could ever come back here again anyway. It will just never work.

Definitely don't tell them until you secure another position. It's not so much about burning bridges backwards. Are you prepared for being out of work for a year if they say "thanks, how about you just leave now then?"

I don't think I could make it a couple of months actually. I'm not planning on saying anything until I have the other job.

It never hurts to keep avenues open. Particularly if you can leave in a positive way so they know what the problem is. You never know, they *might* fix it.

If it's bad for you - move on! As fast as possible. When you feel bad it's bad for your family and friends too!!!
Don't pity your boss, he's one of the reasons...

At first it sounds like you just want to GTFO, but then you're hesitating. So you're trying to extract some last something from that company. What?

I am friends with a couple of they guys, and this was my first job out of college. I'm hesitant because I feel bad.
|

Stop feeling. (yes yes, easier said than done, do it anyway)
Make a rational decision. That means good for you. Your first responsibility is to yourself.

You can still be friends with them when you leave.
I am still friends with people I have worked with 30 years ago.

Unless your friends are part of the problem, do them a favor and get out, then try to help them get out too. Friends like that are much better than friends who just suffer alongside you.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

The other guy is leaving as well. He's been here just a bit longer than me. It puts the company back to one programmer  They need to change if they are going to retain people.

A quick question. Have you told anyone who's in a position to do something about it that the job is toxic? If there's been an issue, you might have been able to get things sorted out just by talking to someone who probably didn't even know there was a problem.

It's a very small company. I haven't used those exact words, but someone else has.
My manager actually says "this place is toxic" and "I think I'm goina quit" very often. The other programmer here doesn't expect to be here another 3 months. The other two are data processors, and throw temper tantrums pretty regularly.

I don't think that person exists here. There are only 2 people "above" me. One is the manager, and the other is the boss. It's a small company.
