Aren't you from automotive? Because I was leaving from there from exactly same reasons + another PITA were endless and pointless training sessions - Lean, 5S, managing, manufacturing, ... and all of that despite the fact that we were only software branch which never had any access to production.
My old manager was tech who eventually moved into management. She's very good at organizing things and working with the tech team. Her replacement came from a professional project management background and was a huge micro-manager.
The company decided to focus on one market and hired many people. Due to that I stopped doing interesting research and development but more boring and easy source code pissing, with very little freedom and responsibilities.
The two biggest reasons were severe burnout and private equity acquisition. I could see the company "tightening the belt", so I knew I had to leave before the cuts come. I kind of want to strike out on my own, and I'm not sure how to do that, but I guess I'll figure it out.
