Quit or take a mental health leave? Horrible situation. You wouldn't believe me if I told you how crazy it actually is. Work on the way could change my career path, but a powerful psycho hates me.

Mental health leave and sick days, and use that time to give yourself prep to leave. Then leave. Use what you have available and don’t feel guilty

I thought the same and a friend helped me answer it: if you got that leave and everything went perfect....would you want to go back?

Nothing's going to change after a leave. It's not your fault it's bad. It's theirs.

Take leave and have the situation documented, even file a grievance. If you are in the west your agency has a duty of care to sort it out. Then if needed take it to a labor tribunal...they will get rid of the psycho or pay you off.

Talk to an attorney and file a grievance. This advice is what I’m following today and it is likely to be a protective move.

I don’t think there’s a wrong answer. Maybe quite, and give yourself your own mental health break and time recalibrate before finding a new job m. Or take the break, focus on yourself for a day or two, and spend the rest of your time looking. The good news is, you have options. ✌️congrats on the new work!

Hate: getting assigned bulks from others and it throws off efficiency of reviewing suits, monotony, depositions

I am not making as much money as I did two years ago ( after a series of shortcomings I took a job with an agency that I like, but the pay is not stellar) and feel that I need to use my time to either look for other jobs that pay more or do a side hustle.

Advertising isn’t the only field that experiences this type of situation. Most people learn differently from others, still others like myself with ADHD and my grandson on the autism spectrum, we definitely see things and learn things in a different way. We all get to the same place we just take a different route. People need to keep that in mind before placing others on PIPS. Keep the journey in mind and allow the person the luxury of listening, you might learn something.
