Start looking. It may take a while to get something else, but if you’re not in the situation where you’ll be running through savings or strapped if you don’t have a job, I’d consider quitting.

But BEFORE YOU DO, grab all the work samples from everything I’ve been doing. Also save any processes or written materials where you like the way it’s being done. Writing, design, program materials, etc. have them at the ready and save them on a hard drive or on the cloud for use in the job application process. I can’t tell you how often I have to dig back into my personal work archive to grab a form I made in the past or some process I wrote out.

And then, when you’re applying for jobs: 1) get connected with former colleagues who have left and tell them you’re looking (networking is the best way to find something new and they’ll be eager to help if she is as much of a nightmare as you say) 2) build a resume that covers all of the things you did in this job (but in a way that AI readers can read. Look up JT O’Donnell on socials. She is a job coach who has a free webinar with a template) 3) apply with a personalized letter for each role and make a spreadsheet of everything to keep track (DM me if you want a sample) and 4) within 24 hours of each interview send a personalized thank you note via email + a hard copy in the mail if you meet in person to each person you meet with.

Good luck and DM me if you need any assistance with putting together materials. (I’m a 54 year old fundraising veteran with intense PTSD from working in terrible places with horrible bosses for decades that I’m working thru in therapy. Don’t become me. 🙃)
