How long should I put up with a toxic workplace? I come home crying most nights and can’t sleep anymore. I hate feeling so much anger and negativity towards people and my workplace but it’s just a cluster, with so much disrespect and so many double standards. I was hired back in December at the administrative assistant level (I have a bachelors degree in accounting - it’s an accounting firm) with the promise that there would be opportunities to move up. I have now been told that I never expressed an interest in a higher level position (which I have from the start). I no longer even like the thought of moving up with this company.

You should never ever put up with such a job. It genuinely sounds like you’re having a terrible time and they’re treating you poorly. It may be worthwhile to consider quitting and doing what’s best for you and your wellbeing x

I would leave now or ASAP,if you work in a toxic environment how are you going to be able to enjoy your job,How will you deliver a service to your company’s clients with a genuine feel for working their.I am so sorry they have treat you this way no one Deserves that,please leave whenever you can it isn’t good for your mental health!Also If it is delaying your sleep :(

never put up with that!! you deserve better girl!! this isn’t good for you at all, it may be hard now but you will feel better for doing so and you will be so relieved😙

I’m wishing I could financially tolerate quitting without having another job lined up. It’s rough enough right now with a job. My fiancé is willing to help support me but I don’t want to solely rely on him.

Of course. If you don’t have the means to leave now, you shouldn’t quit straight up. But it definitely is worth looking into other jobs in the meantime to settle something before you leave x

I’m really sorry you’re going through that. I’m all about doing what is right for your mental health. But in these circumstances, I would recommend staying until you get a new job. It’s a rough economy to be job hunting with so many people unemployed and recently laid off. I’ve been on the hunt for three months now and I’m anticipating another few months before I’ll find something again. Hang in there and start looking ASAP! If you really can’t take it anymore, then I would consider looking into unemployment benefits and be comfortable with the idea that you might not find another job for a few months.

Leave! A toxic work environment affects you more than you think. I worked at a place that people were so rude and gossipy and it made me insecure and affected other areas of my life. You spend a lot of time at work and it does move to relationships with yourself and others. If you can leave, do it! A fresh start might be exactly what you need to get you back to who you were before working there

And if things get bad enough, do not be scared to being it up with HR if it’s possible? Or try to isolate as much as you can until you find a new job. Sometimes even taking a small pay cut (if you can). You might be tight money wise for a while but you’ll be much happier

@yellow_roses Tried talking to HR and she said she couldn’t help me.
