Has your MD just hired a troll to work with you and you can't stand being next to the epicentre of paranormal activity at your organisation, and so you need to leave?

Dear reader,
Are you tired of your present job?
Are you stuck in a rut and can't make a move internally, vertical and even horizontal?
Are your subordinates stabbing you repeatedly in the back?
Is your boss a tightwad and won't give you a raise?
Has your MD just hired a troll to work with you and you can't stand being next to the epicentre of paranormal activity at your organisation, and so you need to leave?
Is your supervisor an insecure schmuck who fears your superior intellect and coding skills?
Does the HR department always seem to have its doors slammed shut whenever you come round asking for help?
Do you feel unappreciated, and that you are meant for greater things?

For those of you who are currently unemployed, I would like to dedicate the following song, completely lifted off a page from a lyrics site (at this URL—www.top40db.net/Lyrics/?SongID=82157&By=Artist&Match=Gary+U.S.+Bonds)
Out Of Work
by Gary U.S. Bonds
Eight a.m., I'm up and out
Feet beating on the sidewalk
Down at the unemployment agency
All I get is talk
I check the want ads
But there just ain't nobody hiring
What's a man supposed to do
When he's down and out of work
I need a job, I'm out of work
I'm unemployed, I'm out of work
I need a job, I'm out of work
I go to pick my girl up
Her name is Linda Brown
Her Dad invites me in
He tells me to sit down
The small talk that we're making
Is going pretty smooth
But then he drops a bomb
Son, what do you do
I'm out of work
I need a job, I'm out of work
I'm unemployed, I'm out of work
I need a job, I'm out of work
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, Mr. President
I know you've got the plans
You're doing all you can now
To help the little man
We've got to do our best
To whip that inflation down
Maybe you've got a job for me
Just driving you around
These tough times
They're enough to
Make a man lose his mind
Up there you've got a job
But down here below
I'm out of work
I need a job, I'm out of work
I'm unemployed, I'm out of work
I need a job, I'm out of work
I'm out of work, I'm out of work
I'm out of work, I'm out of work
I'm out of work, I'm out of work
I'm out of work, I'm out of work
On that note, I bid you Peace, and an endless day of happy fishing!
