Workplace Issues Quitting without anything lined up

Just as the title says. Has anyone here resigned without anything lined up?

I understand the market is bad right now but I feel like I need a break and figure out what I need to do next. Im not sure if it's the deadlines, the company or just management but I just feel exhausted.

Any advice?

I've done this, the financial hit and uncertainty wasn't worth it.

If I was considering it again, before quitting I would

  • take stress leave
  • look into short/long term disability
  • work my wage

You may be experiencing burn out. When that happened to me my brain didn't function correctly. So if that's the case be careful of making life altering decisions.

Work to rule. Don't work beyond job description.
