Should I quit my job or try go sick?

Autismman

Hating my job isn’t the case, I hated it once and now I’m just numb and entirely uninterested because I feel I’ve been used up, had to push through impossible limitations day after day without anyone really caring about it. The managers I am under are pretty toxic and bring their dramas into work. The managers seem to think it’s ok to be in a bad mood or snappy towards people and excuse it by saying “I’m in a mood please watch out” half joking but they mean it. Some of them get into relationships with staff below them and it never ends well, they can’t keep it professional. I have raised these issues only recently with my boss but I just can’t see my own perception improving, money is zero motivator for me even if they offered it. What would you do?

    Assuming you get paid sick leave:

    If things are as bad as you say and you don't think the job can/will improve at present then I'd go off sick for as long as you can.

    They have made you feel like that and it sounds like you would genuinely benefit from time off for stress or occupational burnout.

    Based on your comments the company are stealing from you. Taking your ability to feel, your motivation, pushing so hard and not even appreciating you. It may be affecting how you feel and spend time outside of work too. If so then they've also been stealing your leisure time. They OWE you.

    They at least owe you paid sick leave while you get yourself in a better headspace and consider what you want to do longer term.

    Just my view...

    I also agree with Bunny and the links quoted sound useful.

    Thank you and yes I plan to call Monday to do this after speaking with a trusted friend he gave me the same sort of advice. It’s better that I take the time off and see how I feel after the sick period is over but I think in my heart I know this isn’t meant to be.
