33F Veteran Considering Early Retirement Due to Toxic Workplace 😩

Hey everyone, I'm at my breaking point and desperately need advice 😔 I'm a 33-year-old female veteran making $190k annually, but my workplace has become absolutely toxic. Constant micromanagement, office politics, and a boss who takes credit for my work - I'm mentally exhausted! 😤 Here's my situation: I have $800k net worth and $40k yearly passive income. With my GI Bill benefits, I could literally walk away tomorrow and live comfortably in Europe or Asia while my investments grow. Part of me wants to escape this corporate nightmare and focus on personal goals, travel, and actual happiness. But another part worries I'm being too hasty leaving such high pay behind. Has anyone else left a well-paying but soul-crushing job for early retirement? Was the peace of mind worth potentially missing out on future earnings? I'm torn and could really use some perspective from people who've been there 💭 #EarlyRetirement #WorkplaceToxicity #CareerAdvice #JobCareer #Career

Why Are We All Leaving? Of course it's because I can't stay in the company anymore.🤔

I left a mid-sized IT company after less than a year, and honestly, I’m still reeling from the experience. I jumped ship from a huge corporation, hoping for more growth and influence, but landed in a toxic mess. The dev team? Imagine high school bullies with job titles—mentors sending me on personal errands, seniors making me stand while they chatted, and the whole office giggling like it was comedy hour. The worst part? Forming friendships was apparently a crime. My friends and I were told it was “bad for the team” to hang out after work. When we caught mentors lying to stir up drama, they brushed it off as a joke. The CEO, meanwhile, seems clueless—he’s always asking why people leave, and managers just blame us. Should I risk telling him the truth? Or is it pointless? I’m really struggling with what to do next. Any advice? 😓 #WorkplaceToxicity #CareerAdvice #OfficePolitics #JobCareer
