AIBU to give up my job?

Hi everyone changed my name for this. Looking for advice and any practical tips that helped you when considering the above.
I don't need to work, fortunately my DH is well paid and can support the family on his wage, also he is about to receive a large amount of money from inheritance.

I have always worked and used to get a great deal of pride from it. From a team perspective and from my years of experience in my field - I used to be the expert in the room and the voice of reason as I didn't have a personal agenda.

My current role has changed from what I was hired to do. My new boss doesn't understand my role and has no interest in it - my role is about business improvement - increment by increment - which can be dull to some people. He likes bright, new shiny things.

I feel like he is trying to manage me out, he's just asked me which specific slides I put in a pack whilst ignoring the whole narrative of the project which is what I helped to shape. He's just told me I am under performing yet he hasn't had a 1 to 1 with me since June and given me very vague feedback.

I am too old for this shit. Should I just resign? It feels like I am a square peg trying to fit in a round hole.

If anyone has made the transition from career to SAHM - what helped you make that decision?

What does your husband think? I’d not be happy if DH said my salary was enough to cover him too so he wasn’t going to work anymore. I’d look for another job if unhappy.

I’d let him try and manage you out whilst not following process by having 121s etc. Then mention a tribunal, and try and get a payoff for leaving.

Got nothing to lose.

I would look for another job maybe reduce your hours?

Unless you are being a sahm because you really want to be sahm, I would just look for another job. Maybe with reduced hours.

No don't resign. I couldn't knowing I was perfectly competent and capable. Let him go through the process and fight him every step of the way with professionalism.

My DH doesn't mind me not working. In fact I think he would prefer it

If he’s pushing you out, def get something out of it. Don’t make it easy for him. You could also go off sick whilst getting paid. Mention constructive dismissal.
