ive lost my confidence in the past year by working in such a toxic environment. i was ready to leave the industry after 10+ years. Started interviewing elsewhere and found my spark again. it’s insane to see how much a workplace can impact your general wellbeing.

Fingers crossed for you! Nothing is worse than seeing talented people lose their spark due to poor management and crappy environments.

It’s a toxic, toxic place. This leadership panel is a line up of narcissists and bullies. Good for you for moving on!

Speaking of toxic, in the Work/Life bowl there was a guy talking how he was fired from PwC out of no where. The way people in that industry and from that company were ganging up and saying his firing was his fault was quite frightening. Toxicity has a way of revealing itself, sometimes abruptly or subtly. It’s best to get out quick before it takes too much of a toll on your well-being.

like

Yeah they were saying the only way he could have gotten fired was if he did something completely unethical or harassed someone. As if their HR systems are perfect and foolproof. So basically accusing him.

I’ve been there! Make sure when you’re looking for your next role you interview your boss. Ask them how they give feedback, what type of players they want on their team. What kind of environment are they hoping to build. It was super helpful for me when I was looking for a new position.

Same here. Took a few months off to reset after being at a toxic company. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to go back to agency, but I truly do like what I do for clients & working with teams (actually miss it). I’m interviewing now at agencies & client side as well.

Glad you had the time to recover! I actually just interviewed for syneos and couldn’t stop counting the red flags 🚩 hope you find something you love and an environment that treats you well ❤️
