Found a job close to home like super close. It would be 2/3 my current pay. A lower retirement package but about the same health benefits. But way easier and probably way less stressful. But probably a lot of politics and might want to knock people out. I think I should stay my current path, even though I don’t enjoy it anymore. As of now I could slap the shit out of someone and just get sent to a different job the next day 🤣 What do y’all think? #asknostr

Lower the stress take the new job
If they require a colored shirt or a tucked in shirt. Hard pass.
The extra time you'll have and less stress may be worth the reduction in pay. How much do you hate your current job? If it's a lot you may be happier.
I was in a similar situation, took a pay cut but ended up with way more freedom, less stress and more happiness.
Use the new job offer as leverage to negotiate improvements to your current job.
