Yeah, iffy isn't the half of it. eor is so completely sick of me talking about it. He summed it up today pretty concisely: "They keep dangling a carrot out there - doing it full time and having a partner. But it's a carrot you don't want to eat ... no more Upstairs (Checkpoint), no more Downstairs (Baggage), just the same thing, day after day, with the same eight people. You'll have to [invent work] or you'll just go crazy."
The other thing which I neglected to go into in my post, but which does weigh on my mind, is that I've seen several of my teammates get relieved of this duty without any explanaition. If you screw up you're gone, and you don't get to even defend yourself as to what happened. That might be different if laying you off meant actually firing you, but I don't trust it would be much different. Which makes for absolutely no job security. I can't deal with that at all.
I just need to summon the intestinal fortitude to place my resignation, and to stick to it. I think I'll write a formal letter. If I CC it to several people I won't be able to back out of my decision.
