I’ve posted here before about a less than favorable situation I’ve been put in by my current employer. I’m dealing with an abusive client that I’ve been forced to stay on because I apparently have “valuable historical information” – I’ve only been on the account since April (inherited from the previous owner that left my company for another job). I’ve expressed to several layers of management that the working situation with this client is abysmal. I have a technical resource that has had multiple panic attacks since working with them and am uncomfortable asking anyone on the team to push through. My boss has gotten more involved to try to smooth things over but any time he is not on the call, they end up pressing me way harder and I end up getting berated for the duration of the meeting.
I’ve expressed to multiple former coworkers and friends that I am open to finding something else and am not above quitting before I find it. Honestly, I’m in a decent financial situation already and could really use a break. My only hesitation is the current job market. I don’t want to quit without something lined up and end up without work for longer than 6 months. Is it really as bad out there as people say?
