If you're that young (18??), you can almost definitely afford to quit tomorrow and look for something better.

Never sacrifice your own career for your employer's success (within some time horizon.) Being willing to quit when your boss is a clear bad actor is a core part of this.

It very probably is the opposite. A lot of people who end up working at 18 are doing it because they need the money and their support network is poor.

That's a good point. If things will go to shit if you quit, by all means don't. But regardless look to secure a job before quitting.

Can confirm. Been working as a SWE full time and trying to finish my degree since 19. I would not take this pile of stress if I had a pile of money.

It's hard when you're young (no savings, car payment, whatever).. but it gets harder before it gets easier.

This is a time in your life when you're (hopefully) not supporting anyone else, don't have a ton of possessions, don't have a mortgage, can couch-surf, eat ramen, etc.

Well, yeah, no. Family is leaving the country, S/O got kicked out, and I have a Great Pyrenees.

Quit. Period. Maybe find a new job first. But don't stick around.
