And don’t forget, if they are treating you like crap then presumably you have a decent sick pay policy?
6 months full pay for stress should give you enough time to reconcile your thoughts, take stock of the situation and, most importantly, ironically so, see what life is like without the stress of work.
My brother was 58 when covid hit. Area manager for one of the bookies. Target after targets, management by spreadsheet. Been in the industry 35 years but kept getting new bosses that were fresh with the latest textbook and consultancy management techniques. Stressed. Irritable. Could never plan his social life due to work constraints and their habit of dropping in demands for new reports to be submitted.
Then covid hit. And they were all furloughed. And he sat back for 3 months and realised what life could really be like. Got hold of his pensions documentation, made enquiries and retired on his 60th birthday.
Is currently touring through Italy with his missus. Think this is his third holiday since retiring. The benefits of being able to commit to cheap Ryanair and EasyJet early flights releases without second thoughts.
