You live well below your means? Leave! You’re in the dream scenario for so many folks right now.
You have nothing to gain by enduring the toxicity. It takes a toll, even if you think you’re processing it.
I would not hesitate to depart.
I think it depends on your network. A stronger network with friends and former coworkers is likely to help get you a new job when you’re ready—which could be faster than you think.
That being said, I have a situation similar to yours. There were a few years where I hung on to jobs despite the toxicity and I believe that they aged me. At one point I dialed down to 3 days a week and changed teams and the strength and personal power I got from that taught me that time is more valuable than money to me.
Stress kills…run!
Without knowing much about your financial situation and your industry/job market where you leave, I would sit down and think about your financial situation and what would happen if you don’t find something new for a year.
Economy is tough rn and jobs are few and far between in many industries. Also when you get to VP level in most industries, the openings happen when people leave or there’s growth (not a ton of growth happening in many industries rn).
Not to say don’t leave, but make sure you’re being realistic about job prospects in your area. Turnover usually happens when people get their year end bonuses so you may get lucky in the next 6 months or so. Hope it works out!
+1 to this. My shortest job search took 3 months, my longest took 12 months. My husband was able to cover our expenses but I felt miserable without my own income stream and it was exhausting always chasing the next opportunity. Plus there are fewer opportunities at senior levels and as time goes by, the search becomes more stressful. If you have any way of starting your job search while you are still employed, I’d do that. Building a pipeline before you quit your current job will help immensely.
Just did it. I’m using my notice period to work things through. Sometimes u have to trust what u do, ur skills, ur network. I’ll tell u next year if it worked out :) But nothing is worth the dark depression that network has put me through.
I was in a similar situation a couple years ago and I stuck with the job, until it finally broke me. When I finally did leave, I was in a terrible spot mentally that took me a lot of time to recover from. So, weigh the costs of staying
This is exactly where I am at now.
No, you’re not nuts, and it is absolutely SANE to walk out. If you have the runway (whether your husband’s support or a fund you’ve created to cover expenses should you be without income for a while), you should absolutely walk out.
Think of it this way: while you’re in a toxic environment, can you bring your absolute best to interviews to find another opportunity?
From what I’ve seen observing folks stuck in toxic workplaces, it’s incredibly difficult to find motivation and energy to look for, apply, interview to find a better environment. They need time to process/recuperate from the everyday toxicity, and then there’s hardly any time/energy left to look for better things. Then it leads to more unhappiness with self, because they start reprimanding themselves for not doing anything. It’s a vicious cycle and it’s incredibly hard to break it.
So if you do have an opportunity to walk out, rest, and then start looking without that toxicity around, you’ll find your next opportunity much faster!
Sending you all the love and support ❤️
Great advice! Thank you so much!
Can you keep your job and mentally checkout?
Checking out mentally is not the best way to go… why add to the dead weight of poor, unmotivated performers that leads to toxic cultures that the OP is trying to get out of?
You are not crazy and I am thinking of doing the same. It’s horrible and that is no exaggeration. I am afraid to be without an income but I am so ready to leave this dump. If you can be without an income and it won’t hurt you financially, quit and save yourself. Some time off sounds like it would be quite nice for you.
Do it! I walked out of mines 2 weeks ago. Best thing I did.
Not nuts... sounds like you'd be nuts not to leave... right? I don't know enough specifics around this so I'm going based on what info you shared. That being said the only question I would pose is this... is this a place you'd want to stay to be the change? If not, then it sounds like you know what the best thing for you and your fam is... do it!
No. You’re not. May be the best thing you ever did
I have always found it easier to find the next job while still working. Maybe because I don't feel as pressured to find something. But I didn't have someone else to hold me up. So go for it if it works for you financially. You may need the break to detox from this position.
Life is too short to be miserable. Quit. I have many friends who have done this, been able to focus on their mental and physical health and are significantly happier. They have all said no regrets. I'm in the same boat and considering quitting.
No, not at all. Don't sacrifice your mental health for a place that would replace you in a few weeks without a second thought.
Which company?
