Have you left one role/company due to a toxic workplace to go to another organization with more of the same? Did you stay, if so for how long?

yup, bounced after 2 months at new place. Getting too old to waste my time with toxicity and sacrifice mental health.

It all worked out fine.

yes, stayed a year at the second. had a clawback on some relo.

first was toxic client [and complicit agency]
second was toxic manager

then you find a place that is NOT toxic and a manager that lets you do your job, and you realize not every place is that way.

I believe in the idea that you leave people, not the organization per se— I left after 9ish years because of the absolute idiotI had to deal with on my primary client project. Couldn’t deal any longer with their utter incompetence that leadership appeared to ignore, so I bailed. BEST move I ever made — the organization was just comfortable enough to hang around longer, but the dolt provided the catalyst and motivated me to move on — thank YOU dumbass!

On my 3rd agency, and I’m jaded at this point. Every place is the same. Leaving the industry after I spend enough time here.

Definitely. Worked at some pretty misogonystic and racist places before getting out when I could.

It's really hard to know what you're getting into culturally from a round of interviews. Even if you're staying keen, hard to get a glimpse before you're all in. Agree with the comment above about chance. There are great places out there but sometimes you just don't have the chance to wait around for offers or roles to meet you where you're at.

Best of luck!
