How to delay accepting a position?

I am currently employed but my direct boss is less than fantastic. I have been put in a fortunate situation of having multiple interviews aligned with a few companies but one is aggressively making an offer. I don’t want to decline but I also feel accepting without feeling out other opportunities would sell myself short? Unsure of what to do here. This subreddit, despite the controversy, did inspire me to seek out other opportunities and now I’m at a loss on how to not fuck myself over because the market is so open from both sides.

I just an lazy ass chap and here my jibbers to “workers owner” community, “Why you not working for yourself?”

Call me lazy(…crazy if you wanna) but tbh many people working under salary right now are volunteer to “modern slavery” and yeah voluntarily. So why we as free human can't escape from this trap? Is it because some “Capital-Government conspiracy”? Or maybe WE the one who should move on from this unlocked jail! Yea people, I just wondering if some people can create an app for better work options, no longer pressed by “Jason's contract”(…you can say “serial [killer] contract”) or legally enslave by made up regulations from Government who really is the Capitalists puppets. Which then bc of it's popularity, the app once again controlled by 455hole from representative of Capitalist, nice~ I wanna work for my well being~ We wants to work for society wellness~ Capitalism work for their owner, who also thinks everything is tools and robots!

Quitting a high paying job due to intense stress

I landed a remote writing job that is paying almost twice the salary I could expect from my profession. It has been 2 months since I started working with them. At the beginning, everything was ok. Regular work hours, understandably tight deadlines, nice communication with my coellegues, etc. A month ago, I was informed the company decided to make saturdays a work day. I objected and requested a pay rise since I quit my previous job based on the offer they made. 5 days a week, base salary with no additional benefits. Note that the base salary is quite good even after taxes. My request has been denied and they advised me to change my mindset as all employees are working under same conditions and everyone must adapt to the pace. Also, I got paid 12 days later than my payday. Now, they started to assign me with tasks that…

Toxic work atmosphere

I began work at an ER at a new hospital this January. The team seniors initially seemed welcoming and helpful and the department itself is well run relative to the poorly managed, low resource general environment. But the smiles and reassurances hid a culture of needlessly high expectations, obsessive micro control and just plain annoying Karenism. I've become increasingly self conscious, feeling like I have to constantly watch my back for a colleague telling me how I'm doing it wrong before even hearing the full story. Wrong in this sense is just not exactly the way they prefer to do it. I cannot look at my phone for five seconds (when everyone's been attended to and the waiting room is empty) without being told in a “friendly” passive aggressive tone that there's “always work to do.” At the same time, I'm simultaneously given “friendly advice” not to even touch a…
