Should I stay or move on??

Hey all so I have been on here for so many times talking about how toxic my workplace is that I ended up passing out and being out sick for a week. Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I need opinion! So I gave my 2 weeks this Monday and my last day is next Friday. I was set on leaving because management was awful and everyone left my team leaving me all by myself being only here for 7 months. Any how, my direct boss got moved to a different department. So I don’t have a direct boss and that spot is open. A colleague of mine from that department my boss moved to called me yesterday telling me how she understands why I’m leaving as well as everyone else from my team. My old boss was terrible at being a team lead. He’s super smart…


Hey all so I have been on here for so many times talking about how toxic my workplace is that I ended up passing out and being out sick for a week. Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I need opinion! So I gave my 2 weeks this Monday and my last day is next Friday. I was set on leaving because management was awful and everyone left my team leaving me all by myself being only here for 7 months. Any how, my direct boss got moved to a different department. So I don’t have a direct boss and that spot is open. A colleague of mine from that department my boss moved to called me yesterday telling me how she understands why I’m leaving as well as everyone else from my team. My old boss was terrible at being a team lead. He’s super smart but an airhead at the same time. She shared her frustration even though they’ve only worked together for a week. Imagine the 7 months I went through! Anyhow, she was planning on leaving as well but decided to apply for my boss old role. So when she found out I was leaving, she told me to stay. If she gets the job, she wants me to be on her team. Even though we had little contact, those little moments she was very impressed of me. I’m here thinking I don’t even know what I’m doing 90% of the time but she was super impressed of me and genuinely sees I can be successful and I should stay on her team. She says that I should take 2 or even 6 months to recover and focus on my health then come back to her team. Even if she doesn’t get the role, the other person being interviewed that she personally knows will lead the team very well. Then 2 more people will be hired as well since 3 people left my team. To put in to perspective, my boss is level A, the other 2 that left were Level B and C, and I’m level D so I’m facing shareholders that my hire ups usually answer to when I’m literally the baby of the team. I’m struggling because management failed me, she said. There will be new management and so this hurdle shouldn’t let me stop from continuing as it is really hard to get in the company, she said. Any how, I’m conflicted. I really liked the company but I’m so traumatized that I don’t want to get back in the industry. But when she called me, I guess it made me feel better about myself that I actually don’t suck at my job. I have been so hard on myself because I felt so behind etc. what do you all suggest I should do? This was a dream job really and it’s a fortune 50 company so this is a really great opportunity but I struggled a lot and it fucked up my mental health. She said things will get better, but will it really though?
