Leave the bad situation, but leave with your character intact. You never know whose bridge you’ll need again.

Leaving a bad situation well is a separate question from being right about leaving. The pull is to burn it on the way out, since you have the receipts and an audience, and that satisfaction lasts roughly a week. What stays is what people say about you in rooms you are not in.

Go, and say less than you want to. Tell the truth if someone asks, without the commentary attached. Thank whoever was decent to you, because the world you are walking into is smaller than it looks from here.
