I literally only stay on my project because I'm worried that my manager would have a breakdown if I left. I dislike everything about my work. I really care about my manager, though. Would you leave?

Your manager will be fine. And if you're close to a meltdown, you need to prioritize yourself

Set a hard roll-off date, start discussing your roll-off plan - getting someone new onboarded, doing knowledge transfer, etc. Start documenting what you do, so your KT is easier

In a similar position. Work is boring as hell but firm has been losing a lot of ppl. How much longer till your project is over? I'm planning on staying for another couple more months to get to senior consultant and then going to leave. Can't stick around forever just for the sake of someone else

Do you think your company or manager will think about you for a minute if they are down sizing? Never take it personally. Get a better offer and leave

You are never as irreplaceable as you think and that is not meant to be demeaning. Leaving will create a growth opportunity for you and the manager and 99% chance that everything will be fine. I have left more than 2 jobs where I thought everything would fall apart if I left (with good reason) and the team / org will adjust in some fashion.
