i hare my current position/project. i work as a consultant and came into the worst proeject I’ve ever been a part of. i have lost all motivation and beginning to make a bad reputation on the project with the client. should i stick it out ans wait to be fired or quit and save face?
Quit.
Why?
Shouldn’t wait for severance?
Depends on how long you’ve been there, your distance from project completion, and (as someone else shared), if you have another project in queue. For me, quitting is counterintuitive because even if you dislike it, there is still a learning opportunity to be had. That said, if you are being mistreated or under valued, leave. Your attitude about being there will be reflected in your work anyway, and I am never one to endorse being in an abusive work environment. But, be smart about it and don't burn any bridges if you can help it.
No other offers. Trying to hold on until my startup is further along
Also haven’t been looking. Just took this job on a whim
Quit and make it sound like their fault cuz you can't handle it
Why make it sound like it’s their fault?
I don’t follow. I really don’t enjoy the work, and it has caused me to lose focus and the credibly I’ve built in the organization. I guess I can try and correct path... but I’m not sure
Quit
Why?
What if I can’t afford to.
OP, you might be thinking about this wrong. Was it a dumpster fire when you walked in? That would mean you have an opportunity to turn it around, which is a home run. I heard that one should be on the watch for dumpster fires to put out when searching for promotions

The choice is always based on whether you have a new offer/project lined up though. I’d quit to save face.
No new offers. Just a startup that I’ve been building that is getting pretty mature and to a place where I can put all my time into it. I have dependents as well.
