It can take years to rebound from a very stressful period. I'm sure this is what I experienced years ago when I quit a very stressful and generally bad job. Just years of not feeling particularly interested in anything, being alienated, etc.
- kylixz 5y agoI just did this. It has only been a few months and I keep beating myself up about not being productive enough since quitting or things I should have done to stay and make things better. At the end of the day, those that are close to me tell me it was the right choice and I do feel like it was to get out of a hostile job that up until the last few years I truly loved. The loss of some of my closest coworkers has been hard — but connecting more with my family has been lovely and made me realize how much I was missing in the pursuit of “work.”
- arkitaip 5y agoDon't feel bad about leaving a bad workplace, you really don't owe them to fix their broken practices. I'm glad that you found a silver lining in your terrible experience by connecting more with your family. Unhealthy workplaces really tend to distort our priorities in life.
