It really is that simple and as I reach the end of my career I appreciate that more.
Life is too short to stay in bad situations for a long time. Of course it’s sometimes hard to move/switch job but it’s never impossible and why spend most of your waking life on something you hate with unremitting passion like the OP?

Life is also too short to get evicted of "your" house (that the bank actually owns) when you miss 3 mortgage payments because you left because "life is too short to stay in bad situations".
I am forgiven to have been exhausted by the grind and for trying to be loyal and go all-in where I am hired.
Wait, it turned out I am not forgiven and just taken advantage of.
So yeah, I am trying. Not easy by any means. But lesson learned, though way too late in my life and career. I'll definitely be doing that going forward.
