I am having a hard time at work. I switched employer and industry over a year ago and it has been a lot of cleaning up, coaching, and hiring. Now that things are good with the team I lead and accounting functions, I am dealing with toxic people in upper management (from other departments). It feels like too much.

For those who stay in one place L-term, how do you deal with this (assuming you have experienced difficult moments and thought of moving on)? Any recommendations?

I hopped around early in my career and wish I had stayed where I was at several places. There are difficult people everywhere, just let them be. Find joy with the team you have built. Not easy to do in the moment though.

Job hopping is not taken lightly anymore. I’m sticking for at least one more year & I wanted out a year ago.

Not sure if this helps but I really try to take a step back and see if I’m upset with the job or the things happening in the job. For example the toxicity factor. I’d look to see if this is something that you’ve seen before or if it’s something you can fight against. If it’s too unbearable I’d leave and then be candid for the reason you are leaving. If you decide to stay id fight hard against the toxic culture and if you end up getting pushback then you know it’s not the culture you want to be at. I’ve found that if I’m vocal ahead of time then things have changed for the better.
