[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in a job with a bad, micromanaging manager. One day I couldn't deal with the shit anymore and I resigned. My husband was shocked as he didn't expect me to quit. My boss and I had several talks prior to that and I was also one of the top performing employees. But his constant nagging, pushing and micromanaging was affecting my health. I developed high BP and diabetes. I quit one day and gave a 2 week notice. In my last week, I felt like my head felt lighter and my brain was actually beginning to think straight. On the first day of my time home jobless, I went to the tennis court and hit the ball 500 times. Felt better. In about a month, i felt like a real human being after a long time. I started applying for jobs again and landed in a job 2 months since the first application. I think all I needed was a break from that toxic environment.

I would say OP, if you have some savings to figure out your life for next 12 months, go for a quit. [/quote]

NP here. I had the same experience. I will say that although it didn't take long to get a new job, I did take a pay cut. I'm learning more in my new job though, so that's a nice benefit.[/quote]
