I've been in state and local government (Australia) almost my entire working career, but am becoming more and more disenchanted with my new director who is creating toxic chaos on a daily basis and methodically trashing my particular branch, along with the wonderful staff (about 50) that I work alongside. I potentially have an amazing opportunity to do specialised work in the private sector being paid my worth, with flexibility, lots of benefits, interstate travel, and a much greater level of respect.
Would you leave if you were me? (Note I have about 15 working years still ahead of me)
