You always have to prioritize you because a company never will. It’s okay, they will always find a way to make it work. They won’t take it personally. And if it’s too much for them, then they can quit and find elsewhere, too.
Pro
I’m going through this now myself.
If you’re mental health is on the edge from the job, you’d be making things worse for them if you stay. You won’t be as effective, you won’t be as engaged, you will be more prone to outbursts, or outright negativity. It will drag the whole team down.
Your relationships with family, friends and others in your life, also will be impacted by you staying.
Would you keep standing in a fire, while everyone you know is also getting burned by it. No! You’d put that out without hesitation.
Staying is not worth potentially burning down the world around you that you spent a lifetime creating.
They might not know all or any of that, but you do. You will have to take comfort in that knowledge.
This is the best move for everyone.
That’s hard to see now, but try to remember that.
Time. Once you are gone you will feel better. Just put in my two weeks at my current job. Only been at this job 7 months. They have lost two staff members n the past two months who have not yet been replaced so they are still short staffed but not to the point it effects the work getting done too much. I don’t dislike the job I’m doing exactly but I knew there was something more/ better for me out there.
If they are understaffed, it is their fault not yours.
I guess , the question you should ask is , if the tables are turned tomorrow and the company is over staffed will they feel quilts about laying off ?
Mental health issues cause other health issues.
It’s your life. They are just doing business
I just acknowledge the situation sucks for the remaining employees, but also acknowledge it’s not my fault. Those conditions were created by the employer.
