Ask HN: Would you admit being unfit for role, or use a simpler excuse to quit?

I have been considering it, but I have not done yet. I have taken 1 month break, went on some great vacations. It could have been enough, if the work environment presented wasn't a worse version of my previous one.

I migrated into a country where everyone "can speak English". After 7 years living in this situation, I have ran out of emotional capacity/patience to handle this situation.

When people only choose to speak in a language you can understand, only on a "need you to hear/engage on this" basis, You get stuck between isolation and exhaustion.

I am trying to move to US or UK. I feel I should be solving Leetcode puzzle instead of working at a job I hate.

You spend 7 years in foreign country and didnt manage to learn local language? but feel offended when natives dont bend backwards for you?

I don't know where you get that I'm offended. It is more frustration and isolation. People can be living in a country for many reasons, not involving an interest to settle or learn the language.

I won't dive more into "who is to blame" discussion here. This is not the point or the forum to for me to open up further on details.
