The key phrase is "working on leaving" which is arguably the most authentic act in such a situation, and is likely to promote well-being in the long run.

An inauthentic act would be to dissociate but have no plans to leave. Sadly that describes most of my co-workers at the moment, and sure enough they're just riding the miserable train to retirement for the most part. Not a route I'd recommend.

It's miserable, but if it works and there's other reasons to stay, like job security, it's worth it for some people.

I think it also depends on how far you've got to go. Anyone can do 18mths, but doing it for 20 years is sad.
