I know the answer, maybe.
Some people wait for the job to end, even tho all the signs are there. Layoffs, restructures, new bad bosses. I have moved in advance of these types of changes. In a few months I'll be 60 and my boss will probably change from the wonderful person I report to now to a less competent kisser of bottoms. I can look aggressively now for a new job or ride this one out until they find a reason to get rid of me or push me out in more subtle but damaging ways.
So I reached out to three recruiters this past week. I want to focus on losing weight and fully growing out my grey hair and then getting a new last job. I need the benefits. Or do I look for a new job with all my energy?

A few comments on the terrible job market and how overly critical the hiring side is on this right now:
If the job market changes a lot of companies and some recruiters (probably more on the company side since a lot of recruiters are good at what they do and don't get enough credit) are going to be in big trouble because the people getting the jobs now will be leaving as soon as it…

Dealing with call outs
I’m curious if others experience noisy co workers even management asking why you called out. And what do you say? I’m personally starting to find it annoying. Does anyone else find it annoying and what do you say?

Look for the job now before more people are also looking for the same job when your current situation implodes.

You are better off staying in the job as long as you can while looking for a new position. Employers and recruiters seem to be positively biased towards applicants who are currently in a job. So I would hang in there while you look around and network. You could also collect unemployment if they do choose to lay you off; you won't get that if you walk away. Financially prepare yourself by cutting back where you can and saving up. You can definitely do both job searching and weight loss at the same time! Growing out your hair shouldn't need much energy or oversight - it pretty much does that on its own!
