I'm glad that this was discussed. There has always been a social stigma revolving around full-time jobs regarding the duration of employment before moving to new opportunities. Usually, it is unappealing to employers if an employee remains at a company for less than a year. People often face the dilemma that you face; they are forced to choose their mental and physical well-being or economic stability. It's always been frowned upon to make decisions based on mental and physical health; we are expected to "deal with it" no matter how taxing it may be. However, in more recent generations e.g. Gen Z and onward have changed their mindsets and value their mental health when making important life decisions, especially with career choices. This thought process should be implemented in every aspect of life although it is often overlooked. This should be more normalized and some employers should begin to take these factors into consideration. Nonetheless, there are exceptions to this situation where a person has no choice but to remain at their current job due to a decrease in job opportunities elsewhere, personal financial instability, and/or other financial responsibilities.
