Have you ever had to be the calm one in a chaotic, toxic workplace? I’m dealing with this right now and struggling with dealing with it to stop myself getting stressed out.

Yes, very common

I agree!

What’s the plan? Are you trying to survive a temporary chaotic period or are you trying to get out? My best advice either way is to prioritize your health. Find something that restores you, whether that’s exercise, reading, phone calls with friends, etc and make sure you get enough sleep.

I took too long to get out too. Just start.

Can you elaborate more on what is bothering.

Colleagues regularly being micro-managers and stressful work, feels like it never ends!

I’ve had this before.. it’s difficult to stay calm when everyone around you is stressed out but sometimes you just need to take a step back and focus on yourself and your own work

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
