I actually left a job once because not only was the code bad, but my manager wanted me to effectively lie to make him look better.

Ran out as soon as I could. In general it's worth remembering that if your overall team isn't performing well you still can be fired regardless of what your immediate manager thinks.

For better or worse I had a childhood which taught me not everyone's going to like me, but you just need to find people who do. In the case of employers I've left several places where I just didn't like the culture. It's worked extremely well for me.
