I left a toxic boss thinking anything would be better… but the new job is just a different shade of dysfunctional. The work itself is fine, but the culture is cliquey and exhausting. I’m starting to regret making a move just to escape instead of thinking long-term. How do you handle the regret without feeling trapped?

You took a risk to improve your situation and the risk didn't pay off. It's ok, it happens. Don't be hard on yourself for being brave enough to make changes.

It’s okay to take risks! They don’t always work out but you can learn from it. There’s also the option to try and stop socialising at work for a while, it can suck to not join it but it’s a lot easier than dealing with cliques.
