Build a case and sue. Don't quit. There are people at my station who have sued the company and individual supervisors that still work here.
It’s very hard to undo a toxic work environment, but I really think it depends what your long-term goal is. Do you love the work you’re doing? Do you want to stay with the company? Have you talked to HR? Can you make a lateral or upward move quickly so that you no longer have to work for your boss? If not, and your boss doesn’t respect or support you, or there is a fundamental misalignment of values, then I think that’s the point of no return and you’re better off moving on.
There are a lot of variables to consider there - I don't think that there a generic answer, other than once it interferes with your happiness, you are best served in looking for a new job. Always have a position lined up before you quit.
Most times you can adjust or come to a resolution, but if you can't and you feel like you are spinning your wheels to get things done, then best to find another job.
If your reputation as a worker has been irreparably damaged, and your boss has lost all confidence in your ability to execute and perform, then yes you'll need to move on.
Harassment of any kind, bias, and abuse of authority should not become "Gotch" process acceptable. Learning to interact with others is part of professional growth. "Better off quitting" might signal when appropriate leadership is required.
Well it's not easy to quit a job so it's better to conversate with the boss with the issue that is bringing problems between you and the boss. If the employer feels that the issue has not been solved yeah I think they should start looking for somewhere else to work before quitting their job.
When they present your ideas as their own.
You need to work it out with your boss
When you no longer have respect for each other
If you are asked to do anything illegal or immoral
At the point where the people around you rely on you to do a good portion of what they are responsible for and your boss is not only ok with it but intended it to be that way. When you are under staffed, over tasked, and are told there is no room in the budget for staff and you are still expected to have the knowledge of multiple roles. When the customer becomes so important that you are expected to work well beyond reasonable expectation. When your shop has been losing staff and there are no replacements, including your manager. It is time to run for the hills.
when you have to work overtime
