I’m expecting to go on maternity leave this summer, but I hate working at my current company. The work is uninspiring, the people are mediocre and I feel myself torn between quitting and finding a new job, but possibly losing paid leave, OR, sticking it out and taking mat leave then quitting. Any advice or insights?

I'd say stick it out. Take the maternity leave and all the ptos and then leave

Stick it out ofcos. You don't know what's gonna change or what life will be like after. Not sure if I'd want to deal with a new job and a toddler at the same time. But I'm speaking as a man so 🤷🏻‍♂️

The best thing for my anxiety and depression has been admitting to myself I despise my job and career, and likely the corporate world, and that attempting to continue climbing the ladder was causing pretty much all my mental turmoil.

So with that said, mental health has been best it’s been in a long time. For anyone else in a similar boat, hope it helps.

A CD of my old agency doesn’t make cool stuff (he’s a ‘keeping shitty clients happy with mediocre work’ guy) but behaves on social media like he’s the man. He takes credit for the agency’s best work, or at least makes it look like he contributed.

No one in his team is happy and a lot of people burn out, but on social, he talks about work life balance as if he is one of the good guys.

It bothers me. He’s presenting himself as a great guy on social while reality is something else. 😡
