I’m moved under a person who I would not get along with at all and have clashes with in the past. I’m considering resigning with no job prospects at the moment. I have a healthy savings and low cost if living. Should I resign and dedicate 100% to job search or do the minimum while searching for a job?

I was in a similar position for over a year while I tried to make it work. If you can work past the issues while quietly searching that’s great, but you have to keep in mind this person will get to claim wins from your work. If this is the case, then it’s best to make a clean break while you have the initiative. Protect your mental health as this will show in outside meetings. Good luck.

I would do minimum job. Unless you’re confident you can survive without a job for more than half year. Job market right now does not look very good. I’ve seen a VP couldn’t find a job and starts doing freelance.

I'd stay in the job while you look. People who are still employed have an easier time finding new jobs.

Just quiet quit till you find a job.

Quite quit and potentially get fired while you look for a job if anything. Get unemployment while you look for something full time after.

It depends on the kind of person you are, and how you want to be remembered. Tech is a small world.

My company just lost a fantastic Product director who quit without prospects for very valid reasons that aren't really relevant to this conversation.

We all appreciated the living hell out of the fact that even though this person was pissed off, they made every attempt to work hard and ensure that those who stay have a good experience afterwards.

I will 100% recommend this person to any job, and will take any opportunity to work with again.

On the flip side, had this person just raged and not done anything, we would all be miserable as we depend on their work.

Other than the person you don't get along with, how do you want people to remember you?

I don't mean to sound judgmental, but it's really just about who you are and your personal code.

I have changed jobs several times, and I busted my ass off for my last 2 weeks to knowledge transfer, wrap up loose ends and everything in between.

More often than not, I get hit up on LinkedIn and get asked by former coworkers if I want to come and work with them again at new jobs. Not trying to brag, but just adding some perspective here. I wouldn't get asked this if I quiet-quit.

I was actually in a similar situation and the relationship was a lot better than I had anticipated. We actually got along great even though we had clashed many times before. So maybe see if it will be as bad as you think before making any decisions.

Take lots of sick days and PTO days etc to devote time to applying and interviewing for new jobs. Reach out to recruiting companies to hopefully get connected with roles and hired faster.

Quiet quit- you’re not going to get a good referral from this person anyways and if they have existing issues with you which are known in the company it will likely reflect poor leadership if they speak up

What everyone is saying; quiet quit and find something else.

Just zen out with the dude while you apply elsewhere. If you quit abruptly you'll wake up realizing that you've got no income and you have to explain employment gap in every interview. You may end up taking a job you wouldn't otherwise take as your savings dwindle. Also, it's a lot harder to negotiate comp when in the back of your mind you know you need the job. You might be missing out on a sweet layoff package too. Quitting on the spot cause your boss is shitty makes no sense, it's more like a child response (I've done it and even the Jerry McGuire thing in the open office, which my coworkers loooved, but I should have just kept it as a second job). Quiet quitting is lame too. Just focus on things that teach or hone skills while not overworking or necessarily "caring". Quiet quitting is a bitch move and not good for your self respect either. Just don't take no shit in a calm manner.

like

Quit and spend your time on searching for a new job (this one alone is a full time job for people who prepare for their next opportunity well). Your mental health is more important than the job you’re currently in and the money it gets you. Esp that you are financially secure …

Try your best to stay while you look for another job because the common worker has a lot against them in the current system. You can also reach out to people and ask for a referral at their companies. If you need a referral let me know via DM

The job market does not look too good for the new year. As such, I’d hang tight (business as usual) while your work something out with HR or another department within your org.

With that said, if your current job is causing you mental anguish and you feel like you have sufficient savings to cushion you until you find something else, I’d quiet quit, take as much time off (vacation, PTO, ect) to get yourself in the right state of mind while you begin your search. No job is worth you suffering mentally.

It’s always best to land a new role with a clear, and refreshed mental state than to hop in a new one with fresh baggage from your previous employer. Kinda like a relationship.
