I recently put in my notice of resignation. My workplace has been toxic and unhealthy for awhile. The pay is good, and benefits/pension is amazing. Coworkers are great but management and the direction of the company is messed up. I found a new job where the initial pay will be less but they do pay for my courses and certification so basically I get free education that will set me up for my career if I work hard. I was so confident and happy with mt decision to leave even though I'll need to cut down on spendings for first year or 2.
Most of my friend and co-workers understand and support mt decision. Recently spoke with a friend and he didn't think it was a good idea to leave. He thinks I should've pushed harder and asked for change at work instead of leaving a high paying job. Now I'm worried again I made the wrong choice. I pretty much burned the bridge with mt current work place becasue management hates me now. I did try to fight back when they were unfair to me and they would not budge. I don't think I could go back even if I wanted to. It was so bad that after I resigned my manager didn't even react. Didn't say bye, good luck etc. Just said ok.
Am I crazy for leaving or is my friend crazy for saying I should stay? How can I even stay if management absolutely hates me now. How he sees it is I've been such a good worker and the issue is management. He isn't think I should leave becasue it's like giving up. But I'm so tired. This whole ordeal was so soul crushing I don't want to be treated this way anymore.
