Sounds like the advise is obvious: Change jobs! "Vertical advertising for sports betting" sounds like the definition of useless to society. The management issues don't make things better. No pay is worth working at a job like that. That being said, if changing jobs is not an option in the near future, here are some tips: 1. Take pride in what you do. Try to write the most beautiful code. Learn new technologies. Make Easter eggs. 2. Remove friction and sources of frustration. For example if you write tests, you don't have that felling that you might have broken something after you made a change. 3. Communicate. Explain people how you fell. Probably, people don't realize they are disturbing your concentration. Maybe they can send an email or make an appointment. 4. Plan a vacation. 5. Accept things the way they are. If some days you are not as productive that's okay and ultimately not your fault. 6. See the positive. |

I work in the same 'industry' and equally dislike it as a whole and also completely lost my motivation.
>> No pay is worth working at a job like that.
Not when you have a family to raise or bills to pay, the thing with this betting industry is that it pays as said relatively to very good. There is also an overload of jobs, and if you are anywhere smart and in this stuff for a bit you can get a pretty good salary. I made a salary jump of about 80% in 3 years working in this industry.
What I hate the most about this industry is that there are some very talented people working in here, which could do much better things then programming systems to make people loose more money then they already do. Makes me sad.
What I do? I am working on some side projects, and just 'grind it out' during the office hours and do what I have to do, time goes by faster. Hoping to get one of my projects off in the next months/years and leave this industry behind for once and all.
Where are you based?
