Advice of protecting peace at work
I’d like to know what you all have done to protect your peace in a toxic workplace? I absolutely love my work and it has changed my life over the past 10 years and fuels my outside passions and adventures, but I’ve found myself so sad at work sometimes and some days it being extremely hard to get up and go to work.
The issues have been a toxic workplace, disconnect between management and subordinates, political clashes, and cliquey personnel. I don’t like to align myself with certain things that don’t speak to who I am as a person and I typically will let my thoughts on topics be known and am open to discussion but I will not argue or try to change someone’s mind, that simply isn’t my job.
My industry isn’t the kind I can change work places very easily, and I’m very happy outside of work so picking up and relocating elsewhere at 34 years old would be difficult, and I really don’t want to leave my hometown.
So Im curious what you all might have to say about how to move forward in a situation where you don’t necessarily want to leave your place of work, or field of work, but have protected your peace?
