My New Job Made Me Realize I Was Psychologically Abused in the Past
Signs that you are in a toxic work environment and need to escape.
I quit my 5-year job several months ago because I had a new job opportunity that I was not expecting.
I had no particular reason why I left my old job. As far as I *thought*, everything was going well, and I was in my comfort zone.
However, after working a few months at my new job, I realized that I had been psychologically abused in my past work environment. But I had not recognized the signals because I had no parameters to compare.
According to a survey by Skynove, 68% of employees experience a work culture level of toxicity. What’s more, many of them don’t realize they are in a bad work environment until they read the signs.
The problem is that a toxic work environment is not only a job you hate. It can lead to stress, burnout, depression, decreased motivation, damage to your self-esteem, and serious disruptions in your normal life.
So if you came to this article because you are wondering if you are in a bad place or your work is hurting your mental health, take a look at the red flags I experienced and why they are wrong.
