>been at this place for a year
>money's good, hours are good but it's chaotic
>people leaving, going off sick, lots of temps coming in and out who I have to train
>at times it has been just me working, when we should be a team of 2 minimum
>the bosses are complete retards and keep changing things all the time
>they treat most of the team like shit which is why they leave so much, but they don't treat me badly because they know they would be fucked without me
>the stress of all this is starting to get to me, I'm sleeping really badly

But, it IS a really good job on paper and I get paid more than I would anywhere else, but yeah, I'm seriously considering leaving without another job lined up, as I said I make good money so I can afford to do it, obviously not for forever but yeah


What should I do?

Get another job first. Then leave. Switching jobs often times leads to more money than you'd get from raises.
>>
>>34854479
I really hate it here though. I don't like the sound of starting a new job immediately after finishing this one anyway
>>
>>34854469
lifestyle is more important than money.

but you could probably do some small things to feel better
>>
>>34854469
figure out a way to get fired in a way so you can get unemployment. I think poor performance is ok just not like you punched your boss.
>>
>>34854469
so you don't mind losing the job if something goes wrong?
perfect. take a deep breath and some perspective. They need you? So basically you are the one making money for them?

practice some calm confidence. You have the upper hand in the situation. you can dictate the rules. Meet the boss, tell him you will not stand this environment any longer. If they want to keep you, they have to do this, this and that.
it's a win/win. either your stance will have them open their eyes and realise they need to treat you and the company better or you will leave the shitty job and find a better one

Only thing that worries me about that is getting a reference for future jobs, just thinking worst case scenario and I do get fired
>>
>>34854766
well, what kind of job is it?
you don't need to do it in a confrontational style. just politely come to the boss with "i can't take it much longer, i feel horribly bad" then explain how much stress you get from functioning in a chaotic environment that they maintain and offer/ask for solutions. if they can't be introduced, you bow politely, thank for all the good times and go take care of your mental health

I work in IT

I think I might tell them I only want to focus on absolutely essential things and everything else can go to shit. Then if they start behaving badly towards me I'll just leave
>>
>>34854824
meh, IT can get a job anywhere in the world and going full remote is totally doable, i see no issues. also, nobody gives a fuck about your references,just show what you can do during the interview. idk man, this doesn't sound like an issue
