You might be onto something there (and indeed that might be the inevitable result in this case), but it always feels a little icky to just use the nuclear option without trying to affect change. Even if I go, the rest of obedient-but-very-likable team would be left slightly worse off.

It's not the nuclear option. Put your feelers out, see if you can get a better job that you like the sound of, and then leave.

_That_ is how you effect change when your management and leadership is comfortable with the status quo, and if the colleagues you're fond of are too loyal to the company for their own good, maybe it's the kick in the ass they need.

Beyond that, your mental wellbeing isn't going to withstand the pressure of taking on a burden you don't appreciate so that your colleagues don't have to suffer as much.

You can change your organization or change your organization. The latter is often easier.

The nuclear option is the only option which normally brings change when enough people make use of it. Everything else is just kicking the can down the road, but nobody will ever pick it up.
