That's sorta my story (sorta). I had a job that I liked, gave me a fair amount of satisfaction, and was stimulating. My plan was to work until 70.
Then I got a new boss who was a soul-sapping plick. He didn't want excellence and productivity - he wanted subservience and blind obedience. When he didn't get it he made life miserable for me. He deliberately did things to cause public humiliation. I tried to make a move laterally of upward but failed. So in the heat of a disciplinary meeting I short-circuited his bullcrap by announcing my retirement. It was worth it for the reaction I got from him.
Best "career" move I ever made.
I had been in the computer business a little over ten years, was having a ball and making money hand over fist {late 70s} and took a job with a computer company that was also big in the fed gummint contracting business.
Selling commercial and selling the federal gummit are two completely different approaches and the VP of sales with this company came out of the federal sales side.
Long story short, I quit after I met this guy, and hadn't been on board for two weeks.
There is more to it but I never regretted any business decision I ever made, even the ones that cost me big bucks.
You do it, you own it.
