I quit my job in September 2025 after enduring a toxic work environment that turned my once dream job into a nightmare. I had started working as a Microsoft ERP software developer in April 2021, and for the first couple of years, everything seemed perfect. I was making double my previous salary, had a great rapport with my bosses, and was finally lifting my family out of poverty. I was even traveling internationally for projects, which felt like a dream come true. However, things took a turn in mid-2024 after a major implementation project I managed. Despite the success of the project, my boss, who lacked technical expertise, misinterpreted an audit report and publicly blamed me for failures that were not my fault. He began to undermine my work, prevented me from collaborating with other companies, and made derogatory comments about my worth to the company. The pressure was immense, with me working 16-hour days just to meet unrealistic deadlines. After months of this treatment, I decided to leave the company abruptly. Now, I’m freelancing, which has been mentally refreshing, but the work is scarce, and I’m struggling to make ends meet. I’m uncertain about my future and whether I made the right decision to leave such a high-paying job, but I know I couldn't continue in that toxic environment.
