Toxic Workplace Culture: How to Survive and Thrive

Let's face it: some workplaces are just plain toxic. 

On the worst days, even the most elite NYC office can feel like working in a swamp, surrounded by negative energy and drama. But don't worry, you don’t have to feel stuck. 

Here's how to survive and thrive in a toxic work environment.

HOW TO SPOT A TOXIC WORKPLACE

  • Constant Drama: If there's always a new crisis or conflict, it's a red flag.

  • Negative Energy: A workplace filled with negativity can drain your energy.

  • Lack of Support: Do you feel unsupported or undervalued? That's a sign of a toxic environment.

COPING STRATEGIES

  • Set Boundaries: Don't let toxic people suck you into their drama.

  • Build a Support Network: Connect with positive colleagues or friends outside of work.

  • Take Care of Yourself: Prioritize self-care to combat stress and negativity.

  • Consider a Change: If the situation is unbearable, it might be time to look for a new job.
