Quitting without another job lined up. Would you or wouldn’t you?

Hate my new job at The Salvation Army. Been there a couple of months and realizing it’s basically a religious cult run by boomers. Everyday I commute to work I feel miserable. I need out before my mental health takes a toll but I live in a HCOL city and I’m afraid of not being able to help my husband with bills. He says we can apply for mortgage forbearance and that he can cover the bills on his own for a couple of months but realistically I can’t expect for him to do that for more than 2 or 3 months.

I’ve been job hunting since the beginning of February and The Salvation Army is the only (underpaid) offer that I’ve had. I have a couple of other interviews in the pipeline but obviously I can’t count on a job I don’t have yet.

In the past two months I’ve been at my job, three people have quit. The situation is DIRE and I’m already fed up.

Would you quit or not?

Edit to add: I’m on unpaid vacation for a week. Booked it in December before I lost my previous dream job. I need to decide if I’m going back to work after vacation is over.

Last edit: Yes, it really is THAT bad. I’m being micromanaged by a boomer manager while the other manager goes to HR with frequent complaints because she likes to stir the pot. The quality of my work is judged by how long I sit in my chair and I’m expected to take time away from my son to attend evening and weekend events. All for 55K (and I have a masters degree). Not to mention it’s a Christian organization where they pray on a daily basis and I’m an atheist.

Remember, if you voluntarily quit, you will not get unemployment
