You don't have to quit! Run away to the small town without telling anyone. Just do it. Then just work from home in perpetuity until you get canned or they accept it!

I could tell you in ten thousand words how many times I've thought about actually trying this.

In the long run that's "sort of" what I did. Except openly, publicly to work environment. I work for an employer that encourages remote work now. And yes, live in a much quieter town, about 1500km from where I used to live.... mind, I moved time zones and that's so far been the only real strain.
