• Wow that was a while ago. I did quit, took a month off, took a second month off, and just when I was about to become a normal human being again I got another DBA job (it's now my first week actually).

    There are no guarantees about the future however for now at least I am able to sleep at night and happy to be free of the crushing problems of the last engagement.

    What sealed the deal for me, more than Ozar and co's frankly heartwarming comments about moving on from toxic workplaces, was catching up with friends who took one look at me and asked what the hell was going on. When others have a higher bar for your own well being than you do - that's a huge wake up call. But I kept in there trying to make things better... that's my flaw. Oh well it's over now.
