I’m about to walk away from a $20k retention bonus because the environment has become so toxic I can’t last another month. No amount of money is worth the Sunday Scaries I’m getting every single week. Have you ever reached a point where the salary just wasn't enough to justify the mental toll?

I wouldn't walk away unless you have a year's worth of expenses saved up that you are willing to burn through, or another role already lined up.

Being stress-free will be great for the first month or so, and then as you start seeing ylur savings dwindle while getting minimal traction in the job search you might start wishing you still had that job to deal with.

Toxicity only denigrates people. Business does not happen with people. People always need to be treated with dignity and respect. There’s always tension in business; good tension and bad tension. Good tension is always works, bad tension is acceptable if you have support in working through challenges; however, no one wins in toxic situations, not even those who think they have the upper hand. Be wise and perhaps find another job, but know money doesn’t solve any level of toxicity. Your value will prove so much more where you are appreciated, even if you make a little less, but can look yourself in the eye because you are true to yourself and true principles of doing good business with others.

It’s worth it to walk away from toxic stress. Money is not worth the mental stress. My family is so happy I quit my toxic work environment. I was anticipating quitting so I saved up over 6 months so I can enjoy summer with the kids.

If you’re gonna walk away, then just become complacent and go through motions til you get the bonus lol.

Just stop trying so hard

Hi everyone, I got hired on as entry level sales operations role back in January. It quickly turned into sales, and eventually all the sales for the small company once the head of sales left. I am happy to take on the additional role for my company, and they are going to let me. But they feel that without multiple people in a sales department the title head of sales might not be the best title. I have input in what my updated position title and salary would be. What should I ask for?
