I’ve been wanting to leave for a while now. I got to the point of hating every day at work. I’m tired, unhappy, anxious for reasons and for no reasons. Constant stress is taking its toll. On rare occasions when I have enough time to think straight, I can acknowledge I’m exhausting myself for nothing. I’m very close to finally quitting. At the same time I’m hearing about a tight job market, people being without a job for months on time, job offers being comparably worse. What’s your experience? I don’t want to be discouraged from leaving this horrible job.

I don't understand why people stay at a job if it makes them miserable. It's not like a marriage where you should try to stay together. Start looking and applying to other jobs - and if you can't find a new one then be grateful that at least you have an income here.
Depending on what you do for a living, I recommend starting your own business and work for yourself if possible. All of the large insurance companies are run by soulless profit-only focused ghouls. Nothing wrong with making money ethically but that’s not the situation in 2024.
Depends on your age too.
Quiet quit
CVs here. It’s not green on this side. I know few other friend not happy at their place either stick it out until the end
There is an old motto, it’s easier to look for a job when you have a job.
It all depends on what your background is. I’d start to dip your toes in the water and not leave unless it’s really impacting you well being.
