In my opinion, I think that having a boss and collegues who are good to work with make up at least 50% of my overall "job satisfaction". Some might say thats too high, but I've found that if the boss and collegues are good, it helps you get through the (hopefully occassional) dull and annoying periods

I've been particularly lucky to land where I am working currently; everything stacks up perfectly - boss is great and we get along well, coworkers all pull their weight and we see eye to eye on just about everything. When we don't agree there is a healthy measure of open debate and discussion on the issue(s), and the general consensis prevails. And finally the actual work itself is interesting and challenging...

If I were in your shoes I'd be heading for the exit door regardless of how good the 'work' or money is, simply because I wasn't getting along with the boss and that the boss doesn't repect your ideas and views...
And lets face it, hes the boss, not the technical engineer or architect, he should quite frankly p*ss off and stick to managing the people and business, and leave the technical details to the technical people (ie. you and maybe your supervisor)... But I can understand you not wanting to leave after less than 18 months for your resume, etc...

Update: ELISHEVA compiled some excellent info earlier this year, if you haven't read it yet take a look. Help in Tough Times
