My current scale for my frustration level at work.

I been frustrated at work lately, but it has really come to a head in the last couple of weeks. To the point, I started applying for new jobs last week. Last night was a six application evening. I now have interviews schedule for everyday this week, and I already have a job offer. The offer is unfortunately for less then I am making now but still, it feels good. I also know my current employer will have an incredible difficult time replacing me. I am an Web Developer, who built their web application that calculates the values for used aircraft. To say it is an niche area, is an understatement. It requires advance understanding of database structure, math and web applications.

Told to fix ‘my anxiety’ or get laid off, despite anxiety not causing any issues

So I started this job 6 months ago. I got promoted within the first 2 months as things were going well. As the work piled on, there were a few projects were I fell short on due to a lack of training but otherwise things were good. I have a decent relationship with my manager, but he is also extremely controlling when it comes to some projects and it drives me nuts. (he was the only designer there for 5 years and they have struggled to employ anyone else because of this issue). I thought I had learned to manage that though. Boy was I wrong. Thursday was my 6 month probation review. Although things haven't always been perfect, since no issues had been raised till that point I assumed I would get the offer. I got told I have a 2 month extension to fix a myriad of issues…
