have you ever remained in a job you don't quite like for your coworkers?

If you read my history you’ll know I’m a nurse applying for a position that’s gonna mean less money but also less physical job, stable sleeping patterns and your regular 5 day workweek.

today I said goodbye to a group of coworkers I like working with. I was discreet about the new job, but I’m gonna miss working with them.

It makes me don’t want to quit.

If you were ever here, how did you solve this?

Having good coworkers is absolutely a reason to stay in a job. You spend a lot of time at work so you want to make sure you’re enjoying that time - friends help with that.

There is no clear rule on when to leave a job, so you need to make that decision yourself (though you should talk it over with people you trust).

That said, if you’ve ever been at a company and seen one senior IC quit and then watched a conga line of other seniors following them out it’s likely that they were putting up with bullshit because they liked their coworkers and, as soon as those folks were no longer their coworkers, they didn’t see any further reason to stay. At a company with low turn over you’ll occasionally just see massive resignation waves - like 80% of a department - because the bullshit finally became too much and caused a domino effect.

Wife was a nurse at a hospital for 10 years. Got burn out and was offered a lower paying position at a GI clinic. She loves her coworkers there and the docs are great. She left a bunch of peers she liked working with but over time has decompressed and the majority of them left too. You’re making the right choice, trust us. She keeps in contact with the ones she enjoyed being around so they all still talk. Quitting doesn’t mean you have to leave the friendship behind.

You have to put yourself first.

Decide what’s your top priority and everything else falls into place.

A stable job with regular hours means you’ll be able to seek out other folks to socialize with.

Nope

My ex-boss used to say (and I think it’s true) it’s much better to work with a good team at a bad job, than a bad team at a good job.

If you need the regular hours for your mental and physical health, though, that is more important. And an unknown group of people isn’t necessarily a bad group of people, maybe they will also be great.

No, but I have stayed at my current job partly out of spite for a middle manager whom I have somehow overcome.
