Death by a thousand paper cuts. Bad management making bad decisions, funding getting harder and harder to get, pressure to do contract research (I was at a large public research institute, not at a uni)... Things were going downhill quickly and seemingly irreversibly, so I was no longer happy there, and there were no good alternatives in research where I live.

It was... but if you do care about science, you can still do it :)
