I've been working for a staffing agency inside a large tech company for about nine months, and the last four months have been awful. Two of my six colleagues have quit in the last two weeks. My managers have no previous management experience and have turned any criticism back at us by writing us up for small things. I've never been so much as given a verbal warning in my career, and am on a "performance improvement plan." It's demoralizing.
With that in mind, I've saved up about four or five months worth of expenses, and had three great job interviews in the last week. I was planning to stick things out until July, but decided I'm going to quit Friday. It's not worth feeling dread every day. It's not worth doing something that makes me miserable. It's just money, and I know I can make it somewhere else. That feels liberating, and I look forward to taking time off to exercise, sleep in and just feel OK. Thank you, r/personalfinance, for helping me give myself that option.
