Also, there’s nothing they can do to you if you quit early even if you said you’d stay a year — you can say you had planned to work all the way till med school but left early for some personal time before school. My lab in undergrad had quite a bit of churn so PIs kind of expect it

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
