In the past I have also thought along the lines of exit criteria and it didn’t work for me. The correct answer is you should leave soon. Exit metrics leads to thinking like “as long as I’m learning I will keep at it.” Or “as long as I like my coworkers I will stay.” Or “as long as I keep experience career growth it is a good place”. This can just be an elaborate justification of a nasty and unfair status quo. I’ve known people who write out their exit criteria ahead of time “if an idea is ignored when I say it but accepted when someone else says it then I’ll leave.” This helps avoid biasing toward the status quo, but it’s hard to do midway through. But really the answer is you should probably leave and sooner the better. I think this XKCD cartoon is pretty spot on: https://xkcd.com/1768/ https://xkcd.com/1768/ In my experience it is pretty accurate and it is the answer you are looking for.
