I'm really close to handing my resignation letter, even if I don't have any other job offers right now.

That might be a good thing tho, as it would be good for me to take some time off and recover from all the toxicity of my current job. Working at this company is starting to take a toll on me, making me more asocial than I usually am. I'm even losing my passion for programming.

So yeah, I think I'll take some time to heal and find inspiration again before deciding what to do next.

    @Bitwise I do have some money saved, but it's not a good time, tho, as my girlfriend (we've been together for 10 years so she's essentially my wife) is planning a career change, from accounting to web design, and the money we both saved would help with that.

    I will take a break, but I'll have to keep it short.

    The sad part about all this is that a friend warned me not to take this job. I ignored him and now here I am...

    @Bitwise I've been shrugging it off for more than an year. This week I stopped caring at all, even about the code. Which is very unprofessional of me and I hate doing it.

    I need to leave before this situation does any real damage.

    Or am I overreacting? My plan a few days ago was to stay til end of year. Should I stick with that plan?

    Start applying now to new jobs, not sure where you are, but you'll likely have to give a notice etc... You can also, once you have an offer, say you'd like an extra week (or 2,3,... As much as you need / got the finances for) before starting...

    No need to go into all the details with the new w employer, could say that you had a booked vacation orso

    Don't hand your notice in until you've got another job. Take some time off though, the only cure for burnout is rest.
