Swapped a Toxic Boss for Freedom—But at What Cost? 😕
Ever leave a job you loved because of one person? That was me. My old gig paid well, and I actually enjoyed the work—except for my supervisor, who made every day a struggle. Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore and quit, thinking I’d bounce back quickly.
Eight months later, I finally landed a new job in a different city. It’s almost identical to my old one, but here’s the kicker: I’m making $1,000 less each month. Now, I’m torn between feeling grateful for the freedom and flexibility I have, and beating myself up for not sticking it out before.
How do you move past the regret of leaving a good paycheck behind, even if it meant saving your sanity? I’m trying to focus on the positives, but sometimes it’s hard not to wonder if I made the right call. Any advice from those who’ve been here? 😩
