Quitting

[Whathefisgoingon]

I’ve been at the same job for over a decade and it has remained a toxic workforce run on fear since the start. Micromanaged to death, gaslighting, inappropriate behaviours from management, favouritism, sexism, sexual harassment of young women who “think it’s funny” because they don’t know how inappropriate it is, staff treated like toddlers, to name a few issues.

I’m ready to quit but I’m scared. DP can support us easily but we were planning to buy our first home end of this year/early next and I worry about that, but at this stage I’m coming home to my toddler miserable every day and it’s not worth the heart ache.

Anyone else going through this right now?

If DP can support you it's ok to take time off to find your next job & quit before having anything lined up, that's what partnership is about.
Hopefully posters with more experience about a toxic workplace will comment, I was lucky enough to have worked at good work places, but both my husband & I took time out in our careers for health & childcare reasons & we supported each other.
I would keep an eye on your CV too: if you find a new job this year no yearly gap or you can do something low key e.g. very part time or voluntary which you can do while husband looks after toddler.

I have a similar thread on the go re toxic work environment, If your partner can support you then why not. After posting on here I'm beginning to realise that nothing is worth feeling the way I have been.
I would leave if I was in your position, Keep an eye out for another job and go for whatever comes up that you fancy.

Hand in your notice. Keep it short and sweet - I hereby give the required X weeks notice of my intention to leave Y company’

Then take some time out to recover and feel more positive about your future -

The look at what you want to do next.

Things happen for a reason

Not a toxic work place in fact manager wise I have lucked out.

I'm just done..I'm.so bored. It's been.16 years of my life I will never get back and I want to quit so badly. Unfortunately I'm single I have no partner to support me and I'd probably lose my UC top up if I quit.

I split witg my dp 6 months ago and I really want to just sort my shit out but I'm not qualified fir anything so I'd be chucking In a secure reasonably paid job to go back to probation periods etc in a job that won't get me anywhere either as I don't have the qualifications to progress or be even worth anything beyond foundation level to them.

You have my sympathy op
