The thing is, most people stay at jobs they hate because they need the money. Especially during times like this, with high unemployment, it's risky to leave unless you have somewhere to go. I'm lucky, I'm just waiting for my "somewhere to go" to be ready to take on my salary. Then I will be leaving a job I hate now, that I used to love, because of the ridiculous management in place now.
I hang in there because I like being able to travel, my son's hockey is very expensive and I have a kid starting college in two years and want plenty of money put away for all of that. So, I will stick it out until my new job is ready for me, which shouldn't be more than a couple more months. The work atmosphere has gotten so miserable there. I used to feel guilty knowing I was going to quit because I know the owners don't want me to leave. Now, I know when the time comes, I can give my notice and make a clean break never wondering if I made the right decision. I look forward to that day. In a weird way, knowing my days at my current job are numbered makes it easier to keep going. If I didn't have the prospect of the new job, I'd probably just quit and stay home.
