Here’s how to handle it, especially if you might’t just quit.
Some of your coworkers may be great, but others drag you down.
Thepolicies are stifling and the managers nitpick and micromanage.
Theonly good thing about your job is the end of the day.
If any of those things sound familiar, it’s time to do something.
Sometimes a toxic environment is really just a manageable one that’s gone south and is beyond saving.
Just see to it you’re not sticking in a situation that promises to change but never does.
Of course, don’t just take anything that comes along as a way out, either.
First and foremost, ensure you have coworkers who’ll watch your back.
Toxic work environments are eerily similar to those days, so you have to treat them the same way.
Document Everything.
Seriously, Everything
Even if your job isn’t exactly “toxic,” you should consider documenting everything.
It’s tiring, but it’s a solid way to confirm your ass is covered.
Whatever it is, remember that it may be personal, but it’s not yourfault.
Don’t let yourself get caught up in the swirl of negativity that likely surrounds the whole affair.
However, if it finds you, don’t back down or roll over.
The sooner you accept that the better for your own mental well-being.
No doubt that growth will help you to be even more successful as you move forward.
Finally, have a go at focus on turning your bad situation into a good learning experience.
Most often our strongest personal growth comes from living through our most difficult situations.
Perhaps you’re able to learn the qualities in a leader that you never want to emulate.
Do what’s required, but don’t dump energy into a job that doesn’t appreciate your effort.
You’re not shackled to your desk, even if you need the paycheck.
Don’t sacrifice your personal integrity in anger, but don’t let others walk on you.
