Thanks for this article - pertinent to my experience right now, as in a great plan B ready to take advantage of, while plan A gradually corrodes, but for different reasons mentioned in your article. Staying positive in challenging work environments has been my mainstay on two previous occasions and this has only steeled me for what is to come. Only the fact that I haven't quite bridged the trapeze jump gap yet prevents me from sharing this with you on LinkedIn where I could leave footprints for less supportive colleagues to track.
