I leave. This is related to the "not being afraid of not finding a new job" :)

I have done it twice in the last five years - in both cases because I wasn't allowed to improve the quality of the code. In the first case, it was because "the client isn't paying for that, they're paying for features". In the second case, because "that code was written by the NY office and they're going to be upset if we change it".
