Coach
When you think it’s time to leave, leave - even if it means a contract job or working at Starbucks.
Listen to that gut feeling that you need to get out. I stayed and now dealing with a form of pstd.
Agree, I left healthcare & pivoted to corporate retail with WLB. Once I was at a better place I found out I had 40 fibroids due to a stressful toxic boss. I pivoted by way of freelance.
Trust no one. Co-workers are rarely your friends.
Coach
That you can change, fix, or alter culture from within. 9 times out of 10 you need 3rd party agency, full executive/leadership support, and a lot of time & money to undo dysfunction.
Coach
That is exactly what I am saying - you cannot change from within. Mist companies hire outside transformation companies to realign corporations.
If it feels shady it probably is. Always trust your gut.
Any interview that's starts and emphasizes "culture" is going to punish you for trying to maintain a work/life balance.
I’ve learned that you have to do what’s right for you, if you need a mental day take it, if you want to go on vacation and haven’t done so in a while take it. Don’t put the needs of a company above your own because they will lay you off without a second thought.
Find your balance.
