> Leave, and start my own company.

I don't think that's going to be less stressful... Good luck though!




It's a different kind of stress though. I'd say, go for it. You probably won't get it right on the first attempt. It's really good to have some cash saved. And be open to getting back to work for a company while you try. Best wishes to you!


Yeah I think many who’ve been in bad work situations like this don’t realize that not every company is like that. There are sane employers and teams out there that treat each other with respect. Please take that into consideration before going the other extreme of trying to start your own company, unless that’s always been a goal of yours


I imagine the sources of stress would be very different which may help. The increased agency may also help. Different people respond differently to different types of stress, I think.


No joke. When I was founding a startup, I went cave diving on the weekends to relax.
