I'm sure I know the answer to this but, it's hard to see right now.

I enjoy my work. Best way to describe it is "network engineer", routers, switches, firewalls, Cisco stuff mostly.

The last 2-3 months have been particularly stressful and it's taking its toll on my attitude.

When I started this was a small company, it's still pretty small (~450-550emp, I think), but it's grown a lot. We have more people and more business. Because of the growth, our management has realized that the new size requires some different methods and organization. There have been lots of changes, and lots of "stuff" that I think is just growing pains. I suspect that in 6-12 months, the turmoil will die down and things will be back to (a new) normal. But damn, right now it's a royal pain in the neck and makes it hard to see a bright future. I suspect that the problem is that the higher ups, are trying to figure out what needs to be done, and we'll try things and end up keeping some of the new stuff but ditching some of the new ideas too.

I guess I'm just wondering, if you enjoy your work and enjoy where you work, does everyone go through periods where it sucks, but then later it's back to being enjoyable again?

frustrated and stressed...
