After six years of trying to hang in there, I walked away. It was a great paycheck, but it wasn’t worth the stress on myself and most importantly, my family. The long hours and super sized work loads almost cost my life. I saw my work colleagues burn out and one person in my department had a mental breakdown due to the stress. My advice, Sit down with yourself and your household and review the budget, what can you go without? I took another job with another company for a small pay cut and it was worth it! Professionally, Physically and mentally, a huge improvement. I had no idea how truly toxic it was until I left and started working somewhere else. My point, life is too short and there are other employers and leadership out there who are a better fit, adjust with modern work styles (including WFH) and will appreciate and recognize a great work ethic and attitude. Best wishes.

post @2aiz+19eXO4cO - I absolutely agree. I do so much work and I am under so much stress, that it seems to me that layoff would come to me as a kind of relief.
