Job stay or go?

[guynfl2chat]

I have been at this same company for over 10 years. I really do not like what I do because of my manager and coworkers. Its tough to deal with my anxiety and their nastiness each day. I have been looking for another job, but it takes so much time. I am in a professional career and I am even looking to relocate. I am almost at the point where I will quit this job and just keep looking. Is it worth it? I have the money for well over a year to live on. I am so stressed on Sunday's think about the week ahead it really effects my anxiety and mental health. Anyone have advice or similar situation?

I would totally quit. Life is too short to be miserable in a situation that you can change. I absolutely love my job and enjoy it every day and that's worth so much when alot of my life is stressful. So many things we can't change but this one you can. Go for it!!

Thanks for the reply. I am just concerned I will be more anxious not having a job then actually working. Its tough to find a new job. I feel that 1 year is enough time to find something...and I can still live fine.

I understand being anxious without a job but you know you are with this one. Start looking, take some time to rest and you will find one soon.

I am actively looking and I have interviewed. I just dont know how much more I can stand my current job. You are so right! Life is too short to not enjoy your job. People are leaving all the time and no one even shows any remorse. Its really a horrible work environment, but I am a professional so it takes time to find the right replacement.

I’ll tell you what everyone else told me: get out of there.

I’m an admin assistant and had 2 part time jobs at the local community college.

My morning job is great. And my supervisor and I get along superbly. It’s a good environment. Whereas my afternoon job started out well. My supervisor and I became friends. However one day she started snapping at me out of the blue. And nice the next day. Very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Over time it became so miserable. And then she was chewing me out in front of my coworkers causing me humiliation. I was absolutely miserable. But I needed the income. Yet everyone I told told me to get out of there. So I wrote a professional resignation letter and left on her desk and walked out. It was an income loss for me. But I got my sanity back. So now I’m looking for another part-time admin job. Money is tight. But I’m much happier with my decision. Plus the sense of power it gave me to not work in a toxic work environment feels great.

I wish you only the best with your decision.

I am wondering how you have made out? I am also in a job I hate & question if it’s really worth it ....so I can very much relate.

[guynfl2chat in reply to Rlich]

I am still actively looking. I am very unhappy with my current work situation, but I am trying to deal with it. It can take a while to find a new job. I still can not stand my boss and most of my co-workers. We recently lost someone (they passed away) and last week someone just quit.

I am sorry to hear about the death of your coworker & that you are still in a difficult work environment. I am in the same situation. My boss died 2 years ago on 08/25. He was a good person & good to work with. Here’s to a new job & new adventure for both of us ...soon🌞
