I like my company alot, but my fiance had a similar issue in her last job. The solution is exactly what you think it is. Leave the job and find another one. It's a struggle to find employment recently, so you might end up unemployed for quite some time, but if you have at least 6 months worth of saving and don't splurge on useless stuff like streaming subscriptions and eating out often, you should be fine. Being unemployed for some time does give you some health benefits though. It can take a month or a few to get your Motivation back if It's bad or you have other mental problems, like depression. It can be totally worth it in the long run though
If you are strapped for cash then you could look for another job while working this one, but that alone can be exhausting sometimes (or not, maybe you find one fast) -

@whimsical > '(...) at one employer i just stopped showing up.'
Interesting. I had a colleague who did just that, too. I kind of wonder why he did that, though. The employer must've pissed him off, somehow... or he was just very unprofessional... or there was some other reason.

A possibile interview answer
How do you cope with genuinely hating your employer? I’ve been fully remote since 2023, and at this point I can’t ignore how badly it’s wrecking my mental health.
What makes it even worse is the company itself. It’s a 5,000+ employee mess built around ancient, proprietary, closed-source “high-security” appliances. Every single day, working in this environment drains whatever motivation I have left. It’s a constant barrage of bureaucracy, cargo-cult security policies, and security-by-obscurity nonsense held together by duct tape and ego.
They love preaching about “security” while running a brittle, opaque infrastructure that actively fights anyone who tries to do things properly. Every meeting, every ticket, every decision just reinforces how little they understand modern software or trust their own engineers.
At this point, even logging in feels exhausting. The disconnect between what they claim to value and what they actually build is demoralizing, and the longer I stay, the harder it gets to care at all.
