When to Walk Away: Signs You’re in a Toxic Work Environment and How to Plan Your Exit
Most of us know what it’s like to have a rough day (or even a rough week) at work. But there’s a difference between having a tough project and feeling like your work environment is slowly draining the life out of you. If you’re constantly stressed, dreading every Monday, and noticing that your work is taking a toll on your health, it might be more than just a temporary issue—it might be a toxic work environment.
Recognizing a toxic workplace can be tricky, especially when you’re in the middle of it. And once you do realize it, the thought of leaving can feel overwhelming. But the truth is, staying too long in a toxic job can affect your health, your relationships, and your overall quality of life.
This guide will help you identify the signs, plan a smooth exit, and prepare for what’s next, all without losing yourself in the process.
