Dumping PHP to use JavaScript instead? That's like moving from terrible to terrible ...
No, JavaScript is a great language if you just use the good parts[1]. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTIJBZook
Can we just stop pretending that a language cobbled together in 10 days has good parts except by chance?

That's exactly what defenders of PHP say, too. Can we just stop pretending that a language cobbled together in 10 days has good parts except by chance?
In addition, the language wasn't developed in 10 days. It's first design was. And it borrowed from earlier languages.
Seriously though how can you start generalizing / assuming about working as a professional programmer when you're not even 1 year into your first job?
Try your best to change things, but don't try your best for too long till you burn out and are miserable. Some programming jobs are there just to separate the wheat from the chaff.

While I dislike programming in PHP (the syntax is ugly mostly), and I like Python and JS, I don't think getting away from PHP is a solution and the solution. PHP is not the problem in this situation. It's the people who is working there with OP.
I like to think that's what lalc was implying. With a language comes community, and PHP's community is unfortunately laden with baggage.

If you strip out the good parts of PHP, you're not left with a good language. With JavaScript you do. That's why modern languages are copying JavaScript's killer features, like anonymous functions and closures. In addition, the language wasn't developed in 10 days. It's first design was. And it borrowed from earlier languages.
LOOOL. You're joking, right? On which planet do you live?
How was your interview process in comparison to the quality of people you're working with now?
