[@brendaechols5929]

2 weeks gone and still dealing w the trauma, but slowly seeing the light. The verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and gaslighting was starting to affect my health. Since I been gone, my aches and pains some what have gotten better, but the damage is already done. When I left, I never looked back. Right now I just have this fear of failing in a new job and being sucked into that environment again. It was a nightmare!

I chose to leave a job that paid well, had great benefits and nice work schedule, however it was filled with toxic employees that would gossip about each other even though they all belonged to the same little click and would lie, scrutinize and criticize me. I only worked for this employer for four months but when I resigned I felt so good to be able to protect myself, to keep my dignity and self respect and to show a sense of strength.

My deal breaker for my last job was when I realized that my manager was trying to play me. I knew it was coming because I watched her drive off other good workers. Find hindsight I can see that she operates in a poverty mindset due to fear. I have money saved, but I hope I get something soon.

[@sgriffiths0280]

This video is absolutely amazing and refreshing to know that I’m not alone. I just started my new job 11 days ago and it has been the worse working environment that I’ve ever I worked in. I have a drug screen scheduled this coming Monday and once I get my official job offer from new my employer I’m definitely leaving this current employer. I’ve never questioned my capabilities until working with this company and it’s all because of my manager that I’m training with. I spoke to the manager above her multiple times and he’s obviously bias and not taking my complaints into considerations so it’s no point of staying. I told him to put me in in a different department and it’s been great. All the associates in that department are extremely respectful, helpful, and work as a team. Even though the new department has been great my first manager made a bad impression. So I’m leaving to a better company with better pay.

[@AnthonyManzio]

I'm from Canada. What is your advice? Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years. I've happened to be the top worker for 38 years and have never been suspended. These bullies are jealous and miserable people. Union, manager, HR and the police are all totally useless. Bullies are lazy bums and stupid managers are scared of the bullies. They say about me I'm crazy, I drink, I'm a stalker all bs defamation of character. The biggest mistake since they removed disciplinary measures. They should arrest the bullies and fire the manager. Action speaks louder than nasty words. It destroyed my reputation. I will never quit to make these lazy bums ever win. If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start gaslighting, smearing and bullying me once again, I don't know all the new managers etc. like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. I will never let bullies try to control me from quitting. Just don't react and not try to defend yourself which will only go back and forth making me look even more guilty. Action always speaks louder than words. Just best ignore them and find another easier target. Never let these low life lazy bums win ever win.

I just left a toxic job that paid well but had no benefits and was a nepotistic nightmare! The whole company was friends and family which created a very uncomfortable atmosphere! Just imagine going to a random family’s house and working for them while they are getting rich and you get a paycheck and you do most of the work ! Yeah that was a no for me! I don’t believe in 2 week notices but I do believe in giving notice! I give a 1 day notice and let them know my last day and it’s never had a negative impact on me finding employment and I’ve done this for more than a decade ! I also have been wanting to quit for months! I’ve already experienced good managers and good bosses so it’s very obvious that these aren’t that!

Glad this video found me. An incompetent man yelled at me in front of others. I reacted and stood up for myself and he recommended termination.

The bad reality is people leave their jobs because they have problems with bullies but the next job you go to is gonna eventually turn bad as well. The solution is not to work at all. But you can’t do that because you gotta pay bills.

[@hanifjones4914]

Dont tell yourself that the next job is just as bad. That is not true. No one knows. Get what u r worth. And whatever stuff we are paying for bills or not are contracts we signed. Our fault, not thin air, decisions were made. I have bills also and a sister that is out of a job that am helping with also. Less than a 1000k a month in a 3rd world country

[@hanifjones4914]

I had to cut back and sacrificed my ass off, but i was ok with that, cause i was not gonna spend another 11 years in this toxic bath. No one has to and no one should think they must.

The environment is turning toxic and unbearable because of a certain employee. Its so bad that no one really likes her at the workplace. Shes causing all types of drama and chaos but the managers haven't done anything about it because shes a narcissist and knows how to play that card smh.

Sakinah, Here's my situation. I am also stressed out. I needed to request a transfer. I could not handle the site anymore. Waiting for my boss to find me a new site. I had to leave the lawfirm account. Too much drama, too much politics. Putting a dead mouse inside my security blazer with an attached threatening post-it message is the straw that broke the camel's back. It is a toxic environment. I worked there for almost 2.5 years. The silent treatment became unbearable but the dead mouse and threatening note did it for me. Monday night was my last day. I am now a man without a site anxiously waiting to start working at a new location. People are really mean which is the main reason why I love to be alone. Thank God I have enough sense to save money for a rainy day. I hope to be at a site in the next few days. You say?

I just watched this video. I wished I had seen this before because I left one toxic place after another, but always left too late. I would become very ill, go off sick then not go back because I could not face it. The last time it happened was in 2017. I try to stay for the security as there is big job shortage. After i went sick i remained sick. I am still very ill too ill to do housework go and do the things I would like to do. I am on medication with side effects and I am bedridden alot of the time. Kindness is very undervalued by society. I was this nice and kind person who got bullied and harassed over and over again. It is sound advice you saying self care of your mental health comes before money. I wish i realised this a long time ago. Now I am too mentally ill.

[@Peaceharmony-x3r]

I just want to add that in this society ruthlessness backbiting and cruelty seem to be okay in the workplace whereas it is not okay to be kind and generous in spirit. These qualities are seen as weak. I doubt there is any work place left that is toxic free. The whole of society is so dysfunctional.

[@ifawemimoharris]

i remember working a job that, at the time i did not realize was toxic the pay was ass i even went to heights of saying i would work more days because of the pay so i could make more due to my financial struggles at the time, my advice to anybody is to never do that. always go and find a job that is suitable for you and that benefits you in the long run you will get so much farther mentally really. your mental and energy matter and sometimes that means walking away from a job even if you like it.

[@Melifter]

I can recall actually praying the Our Father and Hail Mary prayers when I was getting close to work while in my car. This was years ago and I was much younger and right out of college. My supervisor was brutal and relentless. At some point, I said to myself, “Screw this. I’m not backing down. I’ll be here every day early and on-time. I’m going to remind my supervisor that I exist and bless him with my presence everyday. I’m going to be the one to initiate all conversations and work issues. In other words, I’ll approach him before he approaches me. I’m going to become an attack dog in my own mind.” After work, went straight to the free-weight room and lifted heavy weights building my quads, chest, and arms. And did I ever. That was 28 years ago and I’m still standing and still just as motivated. He’s long retired. I’m still in the same office. I won’t let anyone beat me. Not happening.
