    I was idealistic at my current place. Then my manager and another key person left, and it all went out the window. Even when they were here, I was still more idealistic than was realistic. But my manager helped channel that.

    Now I feel betrayed and sidelined and stifled. Disillusioned. Totally unnecessary too.
