To preface this- I started with a new company less than a year ago, and am facing the decision to be fired, quit, or suck it up at the expense of my mental health.

I make 6 figures as a mid-level “manager” (no direct reports) in a WFH corporate environment.

I have been in my line of work for 7 years, and prior to that, was a military officer for 6 years.

At my current company, my day to day expectations and work far exceed what I expected when I joined, and what was explained to me by my predecessor.

I work, on average, 14-16 hour days, and often am working weekends as well to try to stay on top of projects.

The level of responsibility that I have is equivalent to that of 4 people and as such, I'm constantly drowning in work.

I have a strong feeling that I'll be terminated in 3 weeks, and I'm torn between letting them terminate me, quitting, or busting my ass to try to be successful.
