[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your job is primarily prep work, then the hard part is over. It will reflect VERY poorly on you to quite immediately before a substantial event and you likely would forfeit a positive reference from your manager because you're leaving him in a lurch. In my opinion, the thing to do is continue on until you have secured a new job. You say the environment is toxic -- find fulfillment outside of your office in the remaining time you have there. It is just a job, nothing more. It doesn't have to be your life's passion, your friendship circle, or anything else. But you've put in your time, so don't burn any remaining bridges while you continue looking for a job.

OP, if I may ask: how old are you? I could be way off, but I am guessing you are on the younger side (early to mid 20s), which makes seeing the event through even more important because you have made fewer professional connections to serve as references in the years to come.[/quote]
I'm in my 30s. And I don't care about contacts because aside from my manager, there is no one here I would use as a professional contact and I wouldn't even use my manager because I've had about ten managers here (I told you it's dysfunctional) and I already have all of them. (And all of them are urging me to quit now, too)[/quote]

Then why did you ask?

It's not that you'd necessarily need to seek them out for a reference. It's more like - what if you run into one of them at a future job? What will they say about you? "Oh, don't hire them, they quite right before our big conference." [/quote]
