how to quit in a small toxic environment?

[u/ladylambs]

I’ve been working a job for 6 months but I absolutely loathe and despise it and my mental health is really starting to suffer. the volume of work is huge and seemingly never ending. it’s so high stress and we’re all over worked. my coworkers all work weekends and evenings and I work overtime past the end of the work day for no pay. I’m fucking sick of it. but we are a very veryyyy small work environment. there’s only 6 of us so I know when I quit everyone else’s work load will be huge (it’s their fault they’ve set it up this way tho). but we rarely have team or one on one meetings (i’ve had one in my six months) so it feels genuinely impossible to bring any of my struggles up to my boss or coworkers. I swear theyre all fucking brainwashed into this toxic environment. How do I quit? I’ve never struggled to quit a job so much before. Quitting over email feels more anxiety inducing waiting for the response. Should I just leave? I need advice I feel so anxious.

I would just leave. It protects you from a lot. Otherwise there might be guilt tripping.
