   I did some social media marketing job (still do, but now I’m a freelancer and select better my projects.)

   A boss made me do some spammy work. It consisted of feeding an automatic tool that generated similar but different enough texts to be published in ghost-blogs (some black-hat “gaming the search engine” thing). I fought my boss about it, couldn’t change his mind, hated the job, procrastinated, but most of all, I really hated myself.

   I started to search for another job next day and quit the following month. I never regreted that. Most of my coworkers also left within an year.

   I once worked in a factory that has lots of heavy and dangerous machines and the employer didnt care, so I quit.

   I think you’re asking a really interesting question! I think because of a person’s ability to rationalize through the confirmation bias, it’s often very difficult to make high-stress decisions being completely ourselves. That said, I’ve always tried to read blog posts (like yours!) or ask a friend for feedback if it pops up!
