On the other hand seeing something through is usually an attribute people admire. Being able to persevere in face of adversity is not that bad of a trait to learn. I’d reckon if it’s your first/second time it’s better to stick with it a bit longer, if for nothing else than to learn what your own limits and endurance are. Once you’ve had a a few adversities endured under your belt, you can quit soon as soon as you like and still be considered in good light. Who knows, things might become better at some point and then you could get some more rewards or at least bragging rights. And if nothing else it would end up as a good story, and what’s our lives if not collection of stories, both good and bad. To be more concrete - I once worked for a company where the team I was on was very unpleasant and I just couldn’t take it anymore, I was very close to throwing out the towel, and said so to my manager. After some back and forth I was offered some generous amount of money to stay, and eventually moved myself to a different team within the company itself. But I stayed, and to be fair it turned out to be one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences of my career. I was labeled as an engineer to be admired and got a lot more influence in the company than I would have otherwise had. Sure nobody knows what would have happened had I quit - maybe would have found a better place, maybe not. It’s like choosing a partner, sometimes its worth sticking around for your own sake if not for someone else, if you abandon them you’ll probably find someone else that doesn’t have the problems that you hate, but will have their own set of problems. Dealing with problems is its own skill and you cannot develop them unless you stick around. And sometimes the problem might be yourself, in which case you definitely don’t learn by quitting.
