I work for a tech company, and have been here for 2 years and a month now. I am lucky enough to be completely financially independent (not through any means of my own; inheritance).
I LOVED my job when I first started. I had a great boss, but he left in April–I was put in charge of my dept. After that, everything started going downhill. 2 of our highest performers left due to sexism in the workplace, and then the owner made us remove all the Pride Month swag because it “disrespected his values”. Ever since then, it has just got worse and worse.
I know I can afford a gap in my resume, but I am so terrified to pull the trigger. I see posts everyday about how hard it is to find a job right now–and I am the kind of person who NEEDS to work to remain sane. I have a degree from a top school and still run a consulting company on the side, and I have a standing offer from a connection (altho it's for a govt. position, so it's not something where they can just create a role for me, so it's a waiting game)–but I think I am struggling to decondition myself from “be thankful for the opportunity, don't quit out of spite, keep your head down, be grateful you even have a job”.
I would lovvveeeee any motivation to help me quit this god awful place and go travel Europe while waiting for another opportunity
