I lost my motivation for the last whole year. The company, which I had worked before for 6 years, was sold and destroyed. I put lots of effort to that job. It was the best one. But now, it's hibernated, the product doesn't work and old customers are angry.

Now I have a problem to get the same motivation in new job as a small voice inside is saying "why the effort, this company can be sold too and the effort will be in vain".

Structural and company focus changes are likely the biggest source of long-term motivation loss.

Watching a product you made be abandoned is a horrible feeling, no matter how often it happens.
