You are a victim of workplace toxicity - but if you have a victim mindset, getting over your toxic job is going to be difficult AF. To be clear: you can and should feel all your emotions coming out of a toxic work environment, workplace trauma is real and I’m not here to deny it. But we need to have some real talk, but I have seen many Career Besties in the comments sections who have stalled out in their toxic job recovery because they have taken the identity of a toxic job victim - and that toxic job victim mindset is sabotaging their success and happiness in their career and their life.
I filmed this basically off the cuff and decided to do as little editing as possible because I really just want to have this conversation. I know it’s not perfect, I know there are will be things that are uncomfortable and TBH there are some things I hit on that I feel like I could have explained a bit better. But I didn’t want to bin this video and skip the upload - honestly, I was going to be I feel VERY called by the universe to have this discussion with you this week. If you have questions or something doesn’t hit right (and some of it WILL be uncomfortable because this video SHOULD make you examine some of your toxic job beliefs)... I’ll be active in the comments on this one.
Sending love and healing vibes to you. You deserve to have a fantastic career and a fantastic life full of happiness and success.

    Again to be super clear: this is not intended to deny anyone's victimization of ANY kind. You are not responsible for being victimized; you cannot prevent it or control bad actors. However, I truly believe healing is an inside job, and it is available to everyone who wants it and is ready for it (and there is no shame in NOT being ready to heal, we're on unique journeys and process our feels uniquely). Sending positive, loving and healing vibes to each of you 💜

    ​@@kevinwilkins7851yes that is so true. However, in the early stages of the bullying, one can initially try standing up to the bully to see how the results are, if colleagues are going to rally round. Unfortunately as in my experience, this never happens and I have been in alot of shitty situations. My toxic manager woul turn it back on me and get her flying monkeys to help in gas lighting me. These flying monkeys are basically cowards who would rather side with the bully than risk being bullied themselves. What they don't realise is that strength is in numbers. When you know you are ganged up on, that is the time to leave. Unfortunately I stayed too long for money security and became ill before I left. I wished I was brave enough to leave before.

    After leaving a toxic job you should definitely take some time off before you start your next one. Because you are going to still be traumatized from your toxic job and won't be able to focus and settle into your new one. You need to go in with a fresh mindset and be ready for a new beginning.

    I agree. I got out of a job that put me in an account that I used to be in that caused me bad anxiety that I developed seizures. It was bad like I didn't go to work for 9 days because it messed me up. I got terminated and I did not sue them for wrongful termination because I just wanted to get out of it. Two months later I got a new job and it is sad because it was a good one the support and the people were good but I was at that point completely dehumanized with the bad experiences in my field in the past months heading to that. I got terminated again and I regret it.

    @@JenniferBrick Same here being bullied, mobbed, gaslighting, harassed at the hospital for over 12 years. I've happened to be the top worker for 38 years and have never been suspended. These bullies are jealous and miserable people. Union, manager, HR and the police are all totally useless. Bullies are lazy bums and stupid managers are scared of the bullies. They say about me I'm crazy, I drink, I'm a stalker all bs defamation of character. The biggest mistake since they removed disciplinary measures. They should arrest the bullies and fire the manager. Action speaks louder than nasty words. It destroyed my reputation. I will never quit to make these lazy bums ever win. If I decide to transfer to another hospital and may start mobbing once again, I don't know all the managers ect like in every department like now. So best to not change hospitals. I will never let bullies try to control me from quitting. Never let these low life lazy bums win ever win.

    ​@@erinpillaI feel very sad for your experiences. I feel angry on your behalf that this toxic place messed you up so bad that you could not function well in the much better work situation only to get terminated again. Employers have not a grain of humanity in them. I learned the hard way that for me it was better to leave earlier when you first encounter bullying rather than wait until they grind you down until you go sick. In my last job that happened to me. I went off sick after 3 months torment. They did not exactly terminate me but they put pressure on me to resign. They did not believe me when I told them what caused my illness but said I was too mentally ill to commence working for them at all. I refuted this because I was perfectly well when I started the job. They started calling me in for disciplinary hearings. Instead I sent back a letter of resignation stating that my wellbeing comes before money. I wished I could have walked away from that job earlier while still well with my head held high, then I could have been well enough to look for a better work situation. Unfortunately, it seems most work places have toxic bullies because Employers cannot be bothered to look after their staff. The problem stems from lack of employment laws to protect workers. If these were in place it would be the bullies that face disciplinary action and not their victims. So don't blame yourself for getting terminated twice! It's a messed up world we live in.

    I was telling my husband this morning that work shouldn’t have to feel like I’m a contestant on “Survivor”. My view of work has changed drastically from now compared to when I was in my 20’s. I don’t have time for mind games anymore. Work -life balance is everything. Work is important but it’s not the most important thing in the world. Coworkers acts so fake to have loyal alliances when I just want to get along with everyone professionally and do my job. I have no energy or purpose in sucking up. The situation I’m in is interesting. This job is an entry level IT job, however, you have people with college education and some do not (they got the job bc they were at the company for years). Some have experience and some have no experience at all. Some who have no concept of professionalism. This causes completely chaos and breeds insecure and resentful coworkers who HAVE to play the game of survivor in order for their ego to survive.

Even if we know we have control of our life, if our actions don't reflect that, we can still get trapped in that victim mindset.

    Getting over the toxic job and healing from burnout has been about saying everyday, "Hey, make yourself safe and strong. That toxic job was a lesson." By exiting the toxic job through a medical leave of absence, I made a bad-a** power move that I didn't realise until recently.

    Update one year later: The medical leave of absence ended. I proposed a transfer to a new role and team, but this was rejected by the stakeholders. I successfully completed the return to work process and apparently satisfied the stakeholders with excellent performance. Unsurprisingly, the toxic work environment was no different than when I left. In the background, I built my brand on LinkedIn, I networked, and I received an offer for a new position within the company (that is, a transfer). I learned the difference between victimization and victimhood. I can be victimized, but I do not need to be a victim.

    Thanks for sincerity, friend. The culture from corporations knows to be toxic. One thing that I will point out: nice, kind and hardworking people are always on the spot for torturing by toxic and insecure bosses. An advice what I will give is: a person just needs to rise above it, don't give a shit about the things, to know his own value and story behind and to be ready to take responsibility for his own career and actions. Why im saying that? Because many people are afraid that they will lose job if they stand up for themselves. But honestly, that's the technique that is going to be learned through experience. Strong spirit is what a human needs if he wants to swim in the pool with sharks - they want people to quit. That is their attention. Don't let them succeed!

    I really needed this video. I recently left a job that was so toxic, people in my life thought I was exaggerating but I wasn't. My boss called me stupid in front of people, whispered to my coworkers about me within earshot about my job performance, but when I went asking for any kind of performance review or training, it never happened. She would purposely exclude me from things--meetings or work activities. It was surreal because the people I connected with in doing my job--outside vendors, all gave me glowing feedback but my boss just trashed me every single day to the point where I started believing it. I thought i was losing my mind until I connected with 6 other employees who had been there before me and each one had a similar experience. I left the job, and my husband kept telling me to just let it go. I am still having a hard time leaving it all behind.

I can see this victim mindset in a lot of people about their family and work life. I love when you say being a victim actually undermines our power. From my experience, it is so true that toxic people will be very unlikely to admit their wrongdoings and it would be a waste of time to wait for their apologies because they will never apologise for whatever reasons they uphold. It is super important for the victims to start working on themselves so you are ready to live a better life.

    I left many jobs where line managers with their acolytes in the staff team would gang up, persecute me, gaslight me and blame me for things I did not do. I wish i had seen these videos before. In most of my jobs I had this shit. I clung on and stayed for the money because I had no big amount of savings to fall back on as getting another job is very difficult and one is not allowed to claim welfare support in the UK for 6 months. However, I did end up leaving anyway because I ended up very ill and unable to continue. I now claim sickness benefits because I am suffering from mental health issues i can no longer work. I learned the hard way that mental health comes before money. It is better to walk away from that job with your head held high even if you have no other job lined up and pray to God (if you believe) to help you through financial hardship, because i had to leave anyway. Better to leave in good mental and physical health than to leave sick.

    I left a toxic work place 2 weeks ago. I experienced anti disabled behaviour from the management and luckily I was a temp. I walked out and told the recruitment about it. They are taking it further as it was unacceptable. I was long term unemployed due to my disability. I’m trying but I feel I will end up long term unemployed again due to the lack of work.

    So I had two toxic bosses in the last three years. Honestly I'm still healing from my boss from 3 years ago who made me gaslight myself. My last boss just fired me yesterday and was nothing short of a living nightmare. He berated me on conference calls and told me I was incompetent on a regular basis. I really needed to listen to this because wearing the victim eyeglasses isn't helping 😢

    I survived working for a toxic govt lab. The management team was obsessed with providing statistical appearance to their testing of detection systems. They claimed to be competent, but continually made errors expected from beginning students. Unbeknownst to me, this management had a history of narcissistic group behavior, as did their customer. Instead of allowing open discussion, they victimized anyone questioning the existing narrative. They resulted to taking discussions and work offline, disparaging employees, using junior level staff to undermine more experienced and educated staff, triangulating employees, blaming subordinates for mismanagement, and weaponizing performance reviews and employee surveys For those statistically trained, they basically did not recognize that performing tests and / or taking measurements on the same test object or subject resulted in correlated or clustered samples. To circumvent this reality, they attempted to bring philosophy and logic into the matter, but they screwed those disciplines up also by misapplying them in desperation to avoid their errors There was important mission at hand. But personal ambitions and group beliefs were apparently more important. I was stuck because I was supporting a domestic violence family survivors. I eventually left after speaking to expert mentors, all of whom supported me. Then, I could leave intellectually fulfilled and justified My advice in cases of misuse of science, which is actually pretty common in both profit and non-profit organizations is to document your concepts, your work, and nay discussions, meetings , etc. The other empowering thing, to circumvent the gaslighting, is to seek outside support, preferably by experts. This provides objectivity for you, as a victim of narcissistic abuse.

    When I was in college, I had an incident with a staff member that cussed me out and acted very unprofessional. I have her a week to speak with me and work it out. No attempt made. I submitted a formal complaint to her management. I was told you have to present yourself as a victim and ask for help otherwise people are going to be turned off by you and not discipline the staff member who herself acted like a victim like she wasn’t the person in authority in the situation. The person I received the advice from was a well respected lawyer who was the chair of the colleges board. The Life lesson I learned was it’s all about playing a game and controlling people perceptions. Higher ups do not want to conflicts brought to them or hold anyone accountable.

    Slow your roll with the interviews and pick apart what has happened that is causing those feelings. If it was someone pushing their ickiness onto you, write it aaaaaaaaaallllllll down, acknowledge that it never belonged to you in the first place and burn that f*cker (in a safe place of course) and mindfully LET THOSE FEELINGS GO.

    What happened with my ex boss fits a pattern that is going on in my life and so it makes it harder for me to "just let go". I left that place months ago and have moved on jobwise. But it was really hard to move on because I was too afraid that patterns would repeat. I know my ex boss is a special kind of a*hole and that it was all unique in that sense. But workplaces have changed so much and people are more empowered to do whatever they want to do. My new boss is nowhere near the type of person my ex boss is, so that's a big sigh of relief.

One really has the victim mindset and I had to let that person know that his comments about continued dealings with old job are triggering to me and that i hope he has less bad experiences in the future. (Nicest way I could think of besides telling him to stop sharing.) I may share this video with them 🤔🤔 what do you think?

    My new bosses constantly lie talk over me reply with what i call diarrhea mouth sort of longwinded sentences that mean nothing and aim at shutting me down. Its so toxic and they have .25 of my skills and strengths .. Now I'm good enough to do my job and the vacant mgr job going over and beyond..and boss feedback is "you've done a lot". I'm taking time off and plan on applying outside my co i would not have said that when i came on board again 5 yrs ago after staying w same co 6 yrs and leaving i really love the co and outside my situation is not the same. Incidentally these new bosses have stopped me from internal transfer despite my glowing reviews and past bosses, directors as references. My 1 prior boss and i still talk and her face is shock. And just bc i can when i do leave i will give 5 business days notice. Just to be done on my terms why should i let it linger train people that make more than me..noppe

    I normally love your videos and find them extremely helpful. This one...I dont feel was the same. There is nothing empowering about this video. Just to tell people "stop being a victim" when they had no control of the situation seems kind of off. I think it would have been better to make a video showing how people can take power into their own hands through action. Like what they can look for in a new job interview or the first day on a new job. Something like that. Most often there are signs of a toxic job and ways that people can avoid it...and there are also ways to get out of that job without just quitting and being left with no income.
