Survive long enough to get severance/a new job

Manager has become emotionally immature, refusing to make eye contact or respond directly, criticizing me in front of my team, and giving conflicting instructions

What I wish I knew
"That I could leave the company sooner"
If I could tell you one thing
"Document everything and try to find a new job as soon as possible"
