[Maritime Q-Scout]

what I've found to work well in the past is just treat everyone well. Try not to get caught up in office political games.

Now the enviroment I work part time in is ALOT different from the one you work in, and well I get along really well with everyone I work with (mind you there is still some tensions amungst other employees but nothing horribly bad).

If you can get along with your co-workers, and have fun (or try to) then stick it out.

Some questions to ask:

Do you plan to be in BC long-term?
Would leaving this feild hurt your long-term career goals?
Can you make your boss feel important and smart even when he/she is not?
Would you enjoy another job (outside your feild) better?
Is the job causing un-needed/un-wanted AVOIDABLE stress?

I'm assuming that even with a tight labour market in your position you're still looking in the feild.

Lot of variables, not knowing you, your work, nor your co-workers/employers I can't give a proper suggestion.

I don't think anyone can. Sorry
