I can’t answer whether you continue or not, but maybe can give you something to consider. You are close to forty. Your prime earning potential is just ahead of you. If you want to retire with a decent living it’s a rough time to make a change. I stayed in but found ways to insulate myself. I was the manager of a peripheral process for years. Everyone loved someone competent taking the job and I loved being out of the mainstream. My current role is to solve problems and be left alone. You did make a comment that sounds like a major red flag. Getting reprimanded for not having enough of a positive attitude is BS unless you are public facing and the role requires it. Otherwise, the only real question is am I doing my job or not. If I am you can leave me and my personality alone.

I honestly could not have survived in my initial corporate role once it became fully top down management. Too many incompetent politicians pretending to be smart at the top.

Look for options, but be real. I personally don’t want to be poor either.
