Being in a stressful job environment makes life very challenging and can drastically impact your health. Please take care of yourself.
I can’t say your job or Nike will get better. I can say you do have a LOT more control over where you work and how you spend your time than you think. You’re NOT stuck at Nike. Look for other positions and stay positive about where else you could work that would treat and compensate you appropriately.
