Would you prefer to stay at a job you hate for a short period of time (2-3 mo) or be unemployed for the same period of time? (self.asklemmy)

To clarify: I'm obviously going to stay at a job if it pays like 10 times what I normally make. Let's assume the job just pays average, and the position is just particularly awful even compared to similar ones.

Of course I guess "hating" a job can take many forms... Being in a dead-end job, having toxic managers/coworkers, bad location, etc...

2-3 month unemployed, is the opportunity to take a break, move with some personal projects and take the time to find a nice job. Also it's typically covered by both severance pay you got from your previous job and unemployment insurance. So it's not big deal financially speaking (while resigning from a job you hate would make you loose your unemployement rights)
