Toxic work environment

@affectionateCranberry1301

That's really hard to go through when an environment that you have to be in every day is toxic. The one thing that helped me at times was to remember that I am not there for them and they are not the ones paying me for the work that I do, it's the company.

Don't let others and their sense of "territory", deprive you of a livelyhood, being productive and showing your employer what you are capable of, big or small as your role may be.

You may need to work with them, but that doesn't mean you have to be their friend or take anything they say or do personally. You are there, for you ... not them.

Finding different employment is always an option though, but be careful not to quit before you haven't found alternative employment or to settle for less than what you are getting now. Money isn't everything and happiness is just as important, but don't short change yourself either.

Keep in mind, this world is not perfect and the next work place will come with it's own set of challenges.
