Should I stay or leave? 7 months into a remote job with nonstop ASAP tasks and delayed pay

I’m 7 months into my current remote job and I’m genuinely torn about whether to stay or leave.

The first 3 months were okay, manageable even. But after that, everything escalated fast. I work as a Document Controller, yet we’re also expected to act as leads and basically know everything about all tasks. Meetings are nonstop, and everything is labeled ASAP, which ironically kills momentum because nothing ever gets finished properly.

We started as 10 team members.

• One resigned because he accumulated too many backlogs and couldn’t keep up with the pace.
• Another resigned after repeatedly being called out by the boss for computation errors, often with sarcasm. Both resigned immediately, breaking the 30-day render rule (which says a lot).

The company is fully remote and run by a group of relatives, while the rest of us are new hires. That dynamic already feels off, but what really gets me is the salary delays. Pay has been delayed 4 times now, usually by about a week or more. Meanwhile, tasks and expectations are urgent and uncompromising.

Yesterday felt like the last straw. I’m exhausted, morale is low, and the instability is stressing me out — but at the same time, the job market isn’t great, and I don’t want to make an impulsive decision.

So I’m asking honestly:

• Is this just “normal pressure” that I should power through?
• Or are these red flags serious enough that I should start planning my exit now?

Would appreciate perspectives, especially from people who’ve been in similar remote or startup-style environments.
