been there.

first, remember: a job always looks better from the outside than when you're down in it. could be a fancy job, could be a do-gooder job, no matter.

every job has the same problem: PEOPLE. There are gonna be rude, dorky, unethical, etc. people everywhere... conversely, there are kind, interesting, smart, etc. people, too-- sometimes it's just your attitude, sometimes it's a corporate/institutional culture that attracts a certain type. accept responsibility for when it's just you being whiny. otherwise,...

examine your ethics. what's more important? are you (individually) doing something bad? is your company? how bad? if you don't work there, what will you do? don't ever leave a job without a plan, unless you have a HUGE safety net. Don't complain, LOOK for a new job, THEN decide!

your boss is a mess, but i don't see why you should punish yourself. If his problems are so obvious, he'll get what's coming to him. Unless seeing him daily makes you physically ill, then look for the NEW job.
