[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only people who have the luxury of feeling relieved when they quit a job without having another one lined up are those with the economic wherewithal to not worry about paying bills. So consider yourself blessed. The rest of us will buck up and go to work tomorrow despite having to deal with stress. [/quote]

Good God, some of you are so pathetically jealous.

I'm fully employed, but [b]maybe you are an idiot that you don't manage your finances well, or that you married a loser who can't pull his share.[/b][/quote]

Jealousy, while not the most admirable of emotions, is far preferable to your staggering unkindness.  Wow.[/quote]

NP to this thread.  I understand your reaction to the bolded comment, but really, I think the attorney and some of the others who seem to be outright wishing that OP suffer financial ruin are at least as unkind.

I grew up lower to lower middle class.  I went to a great school with the help of financial aid and then went to graduate school in a field (not social welfare) that, like the OP, I thought I'd love.  I've worked hard over many years and am doing great financially, but I've grown to dislike my boss and many of the people I work with.  I do not have the stomach to continue to work hard at my stressful job, produce great results, and deal with the constant politicking in my work group.  Most of my colleagues have learned that the fastest way to get what you want with our boss is to complain and actively participate in whispering campaigns against others.

I think I may be through.  I'm certainly planning my exit.  I will probably not work for a while, at least a year.  I feel as though the stress will eventually kill me or at least take a severe toll on my health, and at some point a person has to say enough.  My self-preservation instinct isn't completely gone yet, although I think I've had to suppress it to have last as long as I have in this position.[/quote]
