Yeah. Life is short man. I wish you luck in the search, 100%.

An old friend of mine was in a similar situation (worse, I think, if you can believe) and also getting shit for pay. After a while, he went to his boss and explained that he needed things A, B, and C to change if he was going to stay in this role. His boss started yelling at him and belittling him, he stuck to his guns and basically just reiterated what he had said.

Obviously, nothing changed, and so he told his boss he was out. When the next day he didn't show up, his boss called him at home and started yelling at him again. He said it was like all the cares of the world, all the heaviness and stress just fell away suddenly, during the conversation. As it happened his boss was in the middle of yelling, "We don't need you, you son of a bitch" or something like that, and he was able to cut in to say something along the lines "Hey, man, if you don't need me, don't call me. I'm at home. I did my part. You called me. Anything else I can do for you?"

The smile on his face when he relayed this part of the story to me was a wonderful thing to behold.
