I was once tasked to build an integration while working directly under the CTO. They designed their own API and claimed there was no specification in the ecosystem that we needed to follow.

I noticed that there was a specification and I informed them that we might want to change our system to match it. The request was ignored and instead I tried to make incremental suggestions to their design to make it more compliant with the existing specification.

We release the system and the first feedback we got was backlash for not following the spec.

We are now 9 months later and the CEO has requested that we follow the specification and I now get to rewrite the system.

I hardly find any motivation to rewrite the system, I haven't talked to the CTO for a few months and now suddenly they offload a bunch of their tasks on us by personally assigning us work and just invites our manager to listen in lol

I’ve been at my current job for 10 months. I’ve had three instances where I proposed a solution implementation to a problem, was denied, built the implementation I was told to build, had it break, and then told to build it the way I initially proposed (without any credit to the fact that I initially suggested it, of course).

I had a manager for 5 months, was without a manager for 5 months, and now have a new manager.

I checked out a few months back and haven’t been able to motivate myself to work at all. I would quit but I’m locked in for a year with golden handcuffs and don’t want to repay my starting bonus. I can’t wait to quit this shit job.

(This isn’t even half of the shit I’ve gone through since starting here, but only the most relevant pieces to the topic at hand. I could go on and on.)

Yikes! I'm sorry you are in this situation, the CTO sounds like a jerk / first time CTO.

Is it time to find a new job? lol

Did you build Apple's sort-of OpenID Connect implementation?
