    immediately and figure out something later than sticking around hoping it will get better or finding out something that will work out before moving on.

    Distinct Future5902 OP 2d ago • That's what I did for years sticking around hoping it would get better and it just got worse. Or I would change my mind because the gm would have "a good day". Very much like a toxic relationship.

    Distinct Future5902 OP 2d ago I hope you find something because your mental health and your well- being is more important than anything else. It took me a long time to realize that.

    Distinct Future5902 OP 1d ago You're right about that. I lost myself. I put so much into that job and trying to justify it that I never did anything else. It was exactly like a relationship where they shut

    you out from everything and everyone else. My anxiety got so much worse to where I will have panic attacks at stores or even the thought of hanging out with people. I know it will take time.

I'm happy you put your foot down you can find something better.

    jrt312 1d ago Next time, don't apologize. Seriously. It's not your fault and you deserve better. Management should be the ones apologizing. I guarantee they won't, so why should you?
