I agree with @COYBL25 .....the more you stay there, the more unhappy you'll be in that rut. Have you asked for feedback from the panel on any of the internal interviews you've been on....you know, get useful pointers perhaps to any areas you could maybe fine-tune to give your performance the edge ? Its a big ask when people with broader experience are going for the same jobs with less experienced people as employers tend to want a sure-fire thing in the present climate. Its just the way it is. But you can maybe change your side of things which could help you get a job more suited to what you want and, of course, one thats away from there. Toe the line with the new team leader as arsey as you say he is....hes probably trying to assert himself and show a bit of authority...it was ever thus and goes on everywhere to some extent. Stick to the proper times in and out...do the right thing to keep your nose clean for now. Other people will and that could go against you in an interview set up if youre level pegging with one of them. Hope this helps a bit...
