I haven't read through the thread entirely, but it sounds like your boss didn't hire you directly himself. I gather this from his seeming lack of investment in you and your success. Let me know if I'm wrong about that point. This is not to your advantage; otherwise he'd support you more as it reflects upon him as a personnel manager, his judgment and overall executive qualities.

Also, sounds like the lines of communication are very poor and counterproductive. He should not be implying anything- he should be direct with you. This is not the hallmark of a good leader. Were I you, I'd take it upon myself to become the foremost expert/authority in the office on the next proposal, and be more assertive, even instant in the next meeting about your goals. Calmly and with due deference, of course. He may not adopt your proposal but he will respect you.

Your inclination to seek a better work environment is a good move, and be sure to interview your potential bosses as carefully as they do you.

I wouldn't be discouraged about your career phase, but I'm not in your field. Alternatively, could anything positive come from another mindset? Finding a new, better job is infinitely easier than starting your own business at this stage. I expect an uptick in the economy as soon as the 1st qtr of 2013 if Ryan-Romney is elected. Hang in there, don't burn bridges, and good luck.

instant= insistent.

Autocorrect may be the downfall of man.

You are correct, he did not hire me. In fact, he’s always talking about the bad team he inherited.
