Abyss When To Leave

Every bad job started as someone’s good idea — yours. Nobody signs up for a soul-crushing career. They sign up for a fair paycheck, a promising role, a boss who seemed reasonable in the interview. The descent happens gradually, one reasonable compromise at a time, until you look up one day and the opening feels miles away.

Abyss: When to Leave is a practical, research-grounded guide for anyone standing at the bottom of a job that isn’t working anymore — and can’t tell whether it’s a hard season or a harmful one.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• The five clear signals that separate a job worth pushing through from one that’s quietly costing you

• How to tell the difference between burnout and boredom — and why the wrong diagnosis makes things worse

• The psychological traps (sunk cost, loss aversion, identity fusion) that keep smart, capable people stuck long after they’ve already seen the truth

• A step-by-step framework for making the decision with clarity instead of panic

• How to leave well — protecting your finances, your references, and your reputation

• How to rebuild your confidence and judgment once you’re out

Backed by real case studies and grounded in organizational psychology, this is not a book that tells you to quit. It’s a book that helps you finally see clearly — so that whatever you decide, you decide it on purpose.
