Burned Out Twice: Should I Quit My Toxic Startup Job Without a Backup? 😩
I’m at my breaking point and need some advice. Last year, I left my old job because I was completely burned out and desperate for a change. I jumped straight into a remote startup gig, hoping for a better culture and more balance. Instead, I landed in a place where everyone is always working, always online, and I just can’t say no.
Now, a year later, I’m right back where I started—exhausted, anxious, and putting work before everything else, even my own health. My coworkers and boss say to set boundaries, but they still message me after hours and even on my days off. I know I need therapy, but I’m honestly considering quitting with nothing lined up just to save myself.
Has anyone else ever done a total reset like this? Am I being reckless, or is it time to put myself first? I’d really appreciate any advice or stories from people who’ve been here. 🙏
