I have faced a toxic boss, this was about 12 years back now, the pressure went up ...up... and one day I found myself shouting at him on his desk. Quite unreal, not me at all. I came home crying on that day and told my wife I would quit. She immediately supported the decision and that was a big relief. i went on for 6 month time to properly organize everything for the family in terms of relocation. Its her support which saved me from a burn out
Thank you Valéry for sharing this experience, you were lucky to be heard and supported by your wife. Too often what happens at work lead to difficult situation also at home and leave the person without a supporting network. Taking action such as resignation from current job is not easy but it's the only valid one when mental health is at stake.
