Do something fun and productive for the 2.5 hours you save on the commute to work.

I mean, there’s gotta be another Starbucks around right?

Haven't even had Starbucks in my life.


Good try at attempted joke.

I’ve been in this situation and it’s horrible. Turned out to be one of the most depressing periods of my life. The most sinister part is if you ‘stick with it’, you eventually come to normalise it and don’t realise just how big an effect it’s having on you. The early warning signs are extremely important and you ought to pay attention to them before you start ‘adapting’.

You see, adaptation is not discriminatory. It does not recognise good from bad. You just adapt, period. Thus if you’re not careful you adapt to a ****ty situation.

Start working on your exit strategy now.

Find a way to like/love it, or find something else.

OP excuse me for not reading everything ITT but...

It sounds like you are doing the same work... just at a location that's way way closer to you, and the morale/vibes/atmosphere suck.

IDK how it is or what kinda work you do, but I'd just try to block it out as much as possible. Keep up the good metrics, wear earbuds and put some music on, don't initiate conversations you know you don't need or want to have, instead engage conversations when you need to, such as to avoid appearing rude. Keep small talk short and simple, don't bring out too much personality. Coworkers will probably start to realize you're stoic and can probably keep to themselves more.

If you can't really do the above because of the nature of the job or something, then I'd honestly consider trying to find something within 30-45 minutes commute that pays even better. It could take weeks, months, but once you get an offer, that's when I'd put in the two weeks.

"The job market looks bleak" is cope for being a pussy

If it genuinely sucks, and you're unhappy you've got to get out. You don't have to rush it but build your exit plan.

Re-$ource income from a big stable of cash****s...Sir

sounds to me like you have been with the company long enough and had enough success that you would be respected. Id schedule a meeting and sit down with your boss and voice your concerns. Chances are he doesn't realize everyone hates him. His poor leadership is obviously the cancer in the office. Tell him what you loved about the other location and what YOU would do to implement that type of environment at the current one. Dont just show up with complaints, have solutions or ideas. You're not going to get fired for voicing your opinion, corporate HR wouldn't go for it. Worst case, the boss tells you to **** off. so you know its type to look for another workplace.

probably just look for a new job

your corporation doesn't give a chit about you

never forget that

This sounds like your best option dude
