Perhaps I’m just having a bad few months but is there such a thing as not liking who you work for/with and it beginning to change you as a person and your attitude? I come in everyday and hear and see everyone boast about money and are extremely critical on other people’s outlook on things passing judgment on the slightest things, and as much as I try to come into work and stay focused, they bring out the worst in me.

I'm 100% remote and I have the same issue in that I don't like any of my colleagues. If I had to physically be in the office with them, I would most definitely get fired. Going to the gym helps me work through it. That, and reminding myself that I absolutely love my paycheck and the perks of the company. If you can wear earbuds or headphones, do that and listen to music, podcasts or anything positive and uplifting that can counteract the negativity around you.

You're not alone there. I see and hear irritating things on the daily in the office which I could do without. Just try to focus on the work and then get it out outside the office.

100% a thing. The fact you can see it happening is actually a good sign. A lot of people don't notice until they're completely miserable and taking it out on everyone outside of work. You need to get out of there as soon as you're able. That atmosphere is not going to change. The only thing that will is your outlook on life if you keep being subjected to that negativity every day you show up to work.

All my bosses talk (brag) about is how much money they make on cases. It never used to be like this - it was always about the client and advocation. It's hard not to let it affect your own attitude; you just need daily reminders of why YOU do the job :)

Absolutely! Working in a toxic environment or having to deal with unpleasant people each day does start to affect your personal life. It’s hard for your personality not to change when you’re spending 40 to 50 hours a week being miserable.

Are people still live on here? I was diagnosed last year with ADD and I’ve tried two stimulants so far. I know they aren’t meant to be a magic pill but I’m still struggling with general tasks and feel like I’m doing the bare minimum. The Nurse has suggested I try non stimulants. What are peoples experiences with meds ? Did they work or not?
