I was there and God delivery me from that curse. I was so at the point of stress working that office job. One day I went to the supply room and I said God I have enough please help me. When I step out the supply room Management was right there wanted to talk. She said I am sorry I will have to lay you off. I shout Out Thank you God for answering my pray so fast. Since then I never went back to office job. I have a job I love to do. I love driving and I been doing it for 14 years and very at peace. Love yourself and have Faith in God. Find peace.stay bless❤❤❤

[@datnohi8612]

This was very inspiring to me thank you, I have worked in offices for years and they were all toxic, but nothing like the one I'm in now, I really need to leave and try something else because offices work is literally killing me, I'm being bullied by my teammates, blood pressure high I'm on all sorts of medications, my doctor thought I was going to have a heart attack. I'm afraid to go, due to financial reasons, even so I applied for sparks delivery and was hired but scared it want be enough to pay my bills and help my mother, I could try to add on other jobs as I go and just temp so I'm not committed to a office job

I am not leaving my current job because I am down to my last $2590 of my student loan debt and if calculated right, i should be debt free by Feb 2, 2024. Once i see that the money went through and my balance is at $0, then i will quit my job and rest for awhile. Unfortunately, i dont have any survival money

[@wisdomdantecourt8179]

It’s not an accident that it is very difficult to move around to find a better opportunity. It’s like moving from plantation to plantation! Also I can’t stand the verification process ESPECIALLY when you’re leaving a toxic job! It’s like none of their business where you’re going or what you’re doing. Some jobs have verification clearing houses but most don’t and that’s a shame when you’d like to just privately move on. Bullies, stalkers and psychopaths are a good reason why you would not want your next opportunity to be disclosed either.

[@UNIQUEEVERYDAY]

I have been unemployed for almost a year now. I kept sharing with my therapist I’m truly afraid to go back because I am afraid it will trigger my depression.

I have a date ya’ll! March 21st will be my last day at my toxic employer. I have been saving for this moment for the last 1.5 years. I will have partial supplemental income and working on another small percentage of income, so I don’t dig deep into my savings.

One thing I can say as a black man. Is us black people in general know our limits, and usually know when to escape these toxic companies. Our people don't stick around for foolishness.

[@azureavocado5195]

“As a black man” is not some form of qualifier when speaking about work life in (corporate) America. I say that because there are more employed black women than black men. And black women deal with the dual sided sword of discrimination that is misogyny + racism. I don’t think your designation “as a black man” really bears weight here.

It's okay to get a job and be average. If you're happy with it then why not stay, but if you're the chosen one, have creative goals, and not happy with it then leave it. We can't tell everyone to leave there job because everyone is not cut out to be a boss. You three women are talking sense but everyone is not cut out to do what y'all did.

[@ResetWithCeleste]

It's definitely OK to be average. But being your own boss isn't the only option. You can switch from a toxic job to a different job, or a "boring" job, or just do the same job but on a contract basis. There are options.

[@solinspired4428]

No plan Ive just been living in faith that everything will work out. I refuse to stay in toxic environments anymore.

[@greatfulthankful1716]

At 19:30mins I recently woke up to the fact that I need to leg go of one of my p.t. gigs so that I can put that energy into curating a virtual stream of income. Otherwise I will exhaust myself. Many other options are possible.

[@Brixsy]

My reason for not leaving is that I feel to incompetent and my mind is so all over the place that I don't know where to go. I am stressed out to the point where I feel I have panic attacks sometimes. It's to the point that my coworkers are asking "Are you ok?' and I can't answer yes anymore. I have to leave but don't know where to go. I cry every night and listen to music or watch youtube to cope. I have tried talking to a therapist. Therapy is also so expensive that I had to stop! My family doesn't understand how severe my social anxiety has gotten. It's to the point where I am ignoring everyone and essentially hibernating. I am trying not to make this too long but I don't feel lazy at all. I feel sick and tired and I don't even have kids. I have tried career tests and not really any help with brainstorming. I don't feel smart nor do I feel like I have skills to do any other job and I fear almost everything. I need to not feel so helpless and my own parents put me down. I am 31 and feel so ashamed at my life. I wish I knew where to go. I am beyond burnout. I was burnout 5 years ago. Now I am just on autopilot.

I appreciate hearing this come from Black women because it looks like we experience it more than others but no one wants to make it a race or gender issue.
