Thanks for posting this, Daniel. I am going through something somewhat similar, although my problem, as it were, is entirely in my head I think:
I absolutely despise my job, although I don't know why entirely... the best I can come up with that would change the situation for me is if my company paid engineers overtime. I am feeling somewhat guilty of "lacking a sense of urgency", as I was told; I think my problem is not being able to care, or fake caring, in situations where I am told to do something I consider stupid and/or futile.
Like you, I started "running away" by declaring I will work only forty hours a week, which has started the inexorable path towards my being fired.
However, I do not see what I can do to tell my superior about my problems or fill out forms: any suggestions there?
