Quitting when you’re the overly responsible type.

Been working where I am now for about 5-1/2 years. Was good at first, gotten worse. Boss has said a lot of shitty things to me, and the burden of the work is on me. Without a crew to support me, much of the labor, and scheduling, and warehouse management, etc is on me. I'm damned responsible, maybe too much so. I plan and coordinate so much stuff all the time, the stress and exhaustion is noticeable. (I'm paid $65k a year for all of this too.) Because of how things are at work, I want to be done, to leave, never come back. My responsibility is to my customers who I've developed such a rapport with many. Quitting is just…on my mind every day. Mostly because I'd prefer to open my own small business. Those of you who outright quit, is there any guilt (personal, not professional) that lingers…

Those of you who outright quit, is there any guilt (personal, not professional) that lingers because of what you left behind?
