Antiwork

Want to quit, just need to bite the bullet. What should I do?

For a little over a year while I’ve been finishing my degree, I’ve stayed at this job that I am completely miserable at. I’ve recently graduated and was offered a promotion at this job. I foolishly took it because they ordered me a $10k increase but just when I thought I couldn’t hate my job more, I was proven wrong. 2 of my colleagues quit and my manager has piled their work on me and has decided not to backfill for my own role. I am drowning. I’ve communicated how stressed I am due to the increased workload but all my manager replied with is “it’s good experience.” I don’t think I can take another 2 weeks of working like this. Because I’ve graduated now and don’t have many expenses (I live at home and I’m not required to pay rent), I think I should leave. What do you think…
