Like almost all problems in life you have only 4 options:

#1 Change you (accept what you are unable to change)

#2 Change the other (convince them to follow your vision)

#3 Fly (divorce, quit)

#4 Stay and suffer (include drinking, doing drugs, whining)

It is amazing how many people chose number 4.

If you are not already self-medicating or a whiner, #4 is a sub case of #1.

Agreed. We all need to periodically reread "Who Moved My Cheese?"

#1, #2, #3 change state. #4 is no-op.

I was once told of this expression: It doesn't matter whether the rock hits the egg or the egg his the rock. The egg will break.
If you are the egg, either get out or prepare to suffer (#4). It looks like in this case the CTO feels he/she is the egg and a wrong choice has been made.
If "it is definitely happening" then I would suggest #3, find another job and be merry :)

Can I still drink, do drugs, and whine if I choose options #1, #2, or #3?
