Quitting isn't a moral question - it's a math question

Most people know they should quit long before they do. The rational question isn't "should I quit?" - it's "have I accepted what I have?". This checklist forces you to score 8 factors honestly. Anything scoring 2 or below is a red zone. Multiple red zones means the pattern will not change and you are wasting time optimising a losing hand.

Score above 30: stay and push on the weak areas. 20-30: negotiate hard for the specific pain points or start interviewing quietly. Below 20: leave with dignity but leave. Longer stays past this threshold shrink your market value.
