Thanks for your adequacy. I'm just having big issues with my current workplace and don't know what to do.

I'm just feeling kinda stuck and stupid about my current job + financial situation.

On my current job I had kinda the same experience ("k, might be ugly, but we has to work on it, nothing matters") except tried to introduce to cljs [that can work on Node.js as a platform, so could be applied].

So, I crafted a demo of currently existing product of the company that was a prototype much smaller in code but with "bullet-proof' core functionality to my colleagues
Met 0 understanding, despite showing all the best stuff of it: working with REPL with "alive" programm and etc, all the "sweet stuff"
But it turned out there it's not even discussed to change the current tech stack
Ok, it's just mostly-boring, but good for the money Next I was assigned to refactor the most of the current project

By some "pattern/general idea" of how should work.

And, it first, the company stared to underpay me almost 1/3 part of what's supposed to be ~ 2 moths ago without saying a word.

I do agree that there was a moment when I started working little less productive. That's cos my parent had a stage 4 cancer. Treatment started helped a little and I'am became better ~ 3 weeks ago when I only had a suspicion that I am underpaid.

I started to search for jobs about 1 week ago. Despite I had a feeling that I should have started it before, but I just had so little energy when dealing with that all.

So now I am in the situation when I don't know what's happening and just started to search for jobs "full throttle" ~ 10 days ago.

@shegeley Good luck with your job search. It sounds like you can put up with the current job until you find something better.

Meanwhile, can you write some tests to reduce the risk of refactoring? Might be a more interesting and less frustrating activity.
