I started my role as a release manager at a small software company about 7 months ago. The company is in the process of sunsetting its existing platform while transitioning to a cloud solution. Currently, I’m mostly handling releases for the old platform, which only has around 15 customers. My biggest challenge is that the development process is chaotic, and the developers are overwhelmed with their workload. Unfortunately, the CEO seems indifferent to the situation, and customers are expressing their frustration. I find myself working only about 10 hours a week, yet I’m earning over $100k, which is the highest salary I’ve ever had. I've tried to take initiative by meeting with our product owner and dev lead multiple times over the past three months. Each time, I compile detailed reports and send them to my boss, but I receive no feedback or direction in return. I genuinely want to contribute more and stay with the company, but I’m beginning to wonder if that’s unrealistic. I’ve reached out to several colleagues asking if there’s anything I can assist with, but the answer is consistently no. Now, I’m contemplating whether I should start looking for a new job and possibly become over-employed. Should I keep this job while I search for something more fulfilling?
