Assuming you’re a USian, jobs are at-will, so just leave then, and you’re no worse off.
Is this true? I was always told that employers look down on a spotty employment history; they are less likely to hire someone whose job history is littered with jobs that have been held for less than a year.
Yes. (Their worst-case scenario: You’re a “professional plaintiff” who hires on, sues for something or other, gets a (confidential) settlement, and moves on).
They also look down on being in the same job a long time (assumption: lack of motivation to advance, etc.). And they look down on gaps in employment (assumption: you were in prison).
To summarize the summary of the summary, HR reps hate people.
