My work environment has been toxic AF. I love our mission but sometimes I don’t think it’s enough.
How have you made a toxic work environment better for yourself? What kind of boundaries have you set?

I left after almost having a breakdown, no jobs worth your health. And the way my bosses didn't respond at all let me know it was the right move, why work somewhere you're not valued or listened to.

If possible, work from home. And if not, try to wear ear buds to block out the toxic people. I just went through this. I couldn’t afford to quit, and I wasn’t having luck looking for a job while dealing with toxic people. I just did my job and did not engage. Eventually the toxic people took themselves out. A big turnover happened, and we have new people. So far, so good.

If you can, go outside for lunch, take a walk and keep looking for a new position. Be good to yourself.
