I never considered leaving my IBM Field Engineering job. The job was rewarding and gave me a great sense of purpose; however it was very stressful and had a lot of high expectations. With the 360 line of computers the field was flooded with engineering changes (ECs) to be installed and IBM eventually hired part time people just to install ECs. The ECs eventually fixed the many problems with the 360s and the job demands settled down to more normal.
