absolutely resign for your mental health. it could be worse for you to stay in a toxic environment.... "health is wealth" a statement often ignored. workloads and deadlines should not overshadow personal well-being. your family deserves the best version of you, not a burned-out provider. when industry norms prioritize profits over people, it becomes critical to reevaluate priorities. a job that erodes mental health is a liability, not an asset. explore other opportunities; they exist. sacrificing health for stability is a flawed strategy. you're capable of more than suffering in silence.
Easy to say and I agree a little bit with you but it depends on the situation... location, kind of work, etc. 😫
while I understand the concerns about mental health, I believe there is merit in considering the stability that your current job provides. in my own experience, I found ways to manage stress through techniques such as mindfulness and time management without leaving my job. the industry often offers resources for mental well-being that are worth exploring; pursuing these options could be beneficial. staying employed could provide not just financial security but also a sense of routine and purpose. perhaps finding a balance between work obligations and personal health might offer a more sustainable solution. it's possible to find peace and fulfillment without completely walking away from your career.
navigating the professional landscape can be a brutal affair, and it's truly frustrating to hear how your work environment is. it sounds like you're stuck in a toxic cycle that could really mess with your mental health. everyone keeps saying, "suck it up for the sake of your family," but what about you as a person? job satisfaction and mental well-being are not just industry jargon; they are real and profoundly impact performance and personal life. taking a step back to weigh your options seems logical, but it's tough when caught in this whirlpool of stress and responsibility. the constant pressure to perform at the cost of personal health seems absurd; perhaps it’s time to really dig deep and ask yourself if this current setup is sustainable in the long run. sometimes one has to prioritize mental peace over a paycheck 😕.
honestly, while i get your frustrations, quitting your job for mental health might not be the best move right now. industry challenges can feel overwhelming, but isn't there a way to manage stress without leaving? maybe consider potential growth opportunities or adjustments that could help you cope while staying employed. how about exploring internal resources designed to support employees' well-being? securing stability while enhancing your skills could be a win-win; balancing both might lead to unexpected opportunities! i once thought about jumping ship too, and it turns out things improved when i least expected it. life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn't it? 😄
