Working With Toxicity

This has gone on long enough and it’s time for a change it’s time for a better life!


I just need a space to vent here because things are just getting ridiculous at work. 

My coworkers are making my work environment toxic and I have been dealing with health issues. So I have left early last week because of that. Sunday I felt very ill after work but I didn’t leave early but I did take a nap after work. I don’t have my medication yet but I’m hoping to have it today. I’ve been resting on and off before I went to school yesterday. 

I’m actually out of my normal routine but I’m not looking for pity on here. I’m trying to find my routine gradually it’s rough but I did expect to get sick from my usual illness. 

Anyways like I was saying I’m going back to school this is my 3rd week in. I’m now getting into what days I need off. I have to drive a hour away in the evenings twice a week with only one day in between. 

I work mornings so this is a BIG adjustment for me getting home when I’m usually going to bed.

So my coworkers want to “take pictures” of things that aren’t getting done while I’m gone. So you can’t just do these tasks and not complain about it? Other people can’t do these tasks? The past two times I’ve been gone and come back I’ve had extra things to do. Those tasks are considered extra anyways and other people could do them but aren’t.

My boss hasn’t said one thing and it’s been 10 days from those “pictures.” I’m tired of the toxicity how does it make you look better to make others look bad? Explain?

If I’m asked about it I’ll just ask about the extra tasks. Like how much longer are you putting this on me? Because I can’t handle anymore. I can only handle so much it’s one thing to handle extra work like I have been. Now I’m getting coworkers who want to be right on to you. I’ll decide if I want to stay while I’m going to school or change. I’ll change right in the middle of me going to school because I just can’t take it.

I’m trying to better my life and get a career. I don’t want to live like this anymore. Or keep this job.
