How do you stop taking a toxic job home with you emotionally?
Ive been at my current job for about 18 months and the environment is really wearing me down. My boss criticizes everything I do in front of other people. I get messages late at night and feel pressured to respond. Even on weekends I cant stop thinking about mistakes or what might go wrong on Monday. I know the solution is probably to leave but the job market is rough right now and I need the income. For people who have been in similar situations, how did you mentally detach and protect your peace while still showing up and doing the work every day. I dont want this job to keep ruining my evenings and my relationships with people I care about.
