Nope. Not even when I gave up my stock and walked away from probably 40k. When it’s time, it’s time. I was so miserable it was impacting every single other aspect of my life

Mostly yes, and it was my mental health (unrelated to job). New gig is slightly boring and in SF instead of LA, but this place has been like therapy for me.

I had one I wish I left sooner. Wrecked havoc to my mental health by staying for waaaay too long. 🤷‍♀️

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?

So this goes both ways.
