It's a marathon. When you don't enjoy it, start a new one. There will always be bureaucracy, just deal with it and disconnect at the end of the day so you can do the things you love with the people you love.
Yeah, i guess i wish that i could just join a single marathon (and stop keep starting new ones). I do unplug at the end of the day; that lesson i learned over the many years. But while I'm at my day job, i really want to give it my 100%...But, it seems so many firms can't get out of their own way to let the passionate (and highly competent) people contribute in meaningful ways. Its silly really, since these same firms have everything to gain - from revenue perspective, talent retention, yes good PR too, etc...Oh well. Towards new (smaller) marathons i'll head i guess. :-)
