I had a very similar experience and quit a dismal job just over a year ago. It was ruining my life, robbing my passion and stressing my marriage. On the day I quit, I typed up a letter of resignation. Then, I wimped out and thought I was over-reacting. So, I put it away in my briefcase. An hour later, my boss came into my office and read me the riot act. So, I calmly reached into my briefcase and handed him the letter. I have felt like my own man ever since. Now, I have the best job I have ever had in my career and my life is so much better. I go to lunch with my wife often and enjoy meetings with my boss. It could have turned out really ugly. Instead, it turned into an incredible blessing for us. This is a wonderful story.

There are few things worse than a job that makes your miserable. Even if taking a different job pays a bit less, you may gain in other areas of importance, such as quality time with family.
