Article Body:
Dave, 25, seemed to be on the top of the world. After four years and four jobs, he feels unappreciated. He thinks his boss is not exactly an admirable leader. He's having a hard time working side-by-side with his associates, which he finds exemplifying poor attitude and work ethics. He knows he can do better than most, he can think out of the box, but the management treats him just like any faceless statistic in their payroll. 

For months, he felt like a robot showing up for work. He had bouts of depression every now and then. He was desperate and can't seem to get out in the account of a pregnant wife. Still he dreams that there is a perfect job for him out there.
