A toxic work environment affects performance and mental health. Even if negativity isn’t directed at me, it’s hard to ignore. I try to stay focused, but tolerance has limits. How do you handle toxic colleagues, protect your peace, and stay productive without losing motivation or professionalism at work?

I don't disagree with any of that, toxic behavior directed at anyone around me bothers me quite a bit. I tend to shrug it off and ignore it, but you can't ignore it all. I suppose I keep score of people and their bad behavior, but if it doesn't concern me I try to steer clear of it. There's a lot to be said for staying in your own lane and staying out of other people's squabbles.

Thanks for sharing your experience

If it doesn’t directly involve me I’ve learned to block it out. That helps my sanity

Block is solution ..?

I try to stay out of it as much as possible but it’s hard to block out

Totally agree with you

I try to stay in my own lane if there’s nothing that can be done about it. If I’m having consistent issues with someone that does impact my day to day, I’ll keep a log of the instances and raise it with my manager, but I only do this if it’s absolutely necessary

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
