Did you end up leaving?

I have been fortunate in having had decent coworkers and bosses/mentors in my jobs. I disliked one institution I worked at …they were ..abrasive ..but even there my coworkers, mentor/boss and counsellors/hr etc were decent.

The institution was hideous, but not surprising given the part of the world. It is in a part of the world I dislike very much. Again not the people, but the attitude. Not a fan of techno-oligarchs.
