Quitting

The timing could not be worse, I know. But I have gotten to a point where I just can’t stomach working at my company anymore. The pay used to be good, but they have slashed it (probably due to bets on AI). Yet, there is more and more work expected of us every day. Plus, the position I am in is high visibility and stressful. I just need to take some time off. Maybe 6 months. Has anyone taken a sabbatical in this recent job market? And for those who have recently landed a job, how long was your search and what was your level of experience? Edit: People have suggested FMLA which I will look into
