i stayed at my last job for a long time for similar reasons. then i got a manager that was kind of mid and i still stayed. it wasnt so bad i thought. then that manager started drinking the chatbot coolaid and offloading his cognition to it and became a bad manager very quickly. i held on for a while for my coworkers. i was the only person with the skills to fill my role which was critical to the project, but eventually i couldnt stand it for one more minute and quit without notice. leaving after sending my resignation email felt like escaping prison. i kept feeling like they were going to call me and somehow convince me to go back. when i started there i had a good manager and every day felt like a friday. its amazing how bad things can get with a bad manager.
Come for the wage
Stay for the coworkers
Leave because of the manager
It's a very common work experience.
