Have you experienced a toxic workplace or burnout? I thought this article by Jacqui Brassey, PhD, MA, MAfN (née Schouten) was incredibly valuable as she interviews Tessa West and they explore great insights and tactics. What have you done when your workplace culture was toxic? What else would you add to this article?

Here is the first part of the post (to read how the record REALLY helps you, click the link to the newsletter. thank you) Survival Tool#2: Keep a Record Your mind will tell you that you don’t have time. That you’re being paranoid. That it’s unnecessary. That if you only work harder, and deliver better results, you’ll be shielded from the toxicity swirling all around you. Don’t listen. These are the voices of the parts of yourself that are still refusing to face the fact that you’re stuck (for now) in a toxic workplace. (SurvivalTool#1). And these voices will invent almost any excuse to prevent you from taking the necessary steps to protect yourself, and find freedom. You must keep a precise record of toxic workplace interactions, noted down in as much detail as possible, as they occur. You must take screenshots of emails and messages. And you must record relevant conversations (where legal and you have permission) to keep an infallible record of what was said. You don’t need Toxic Workplace Survival Guy to tell you this: You can find any number of posts recommending this practice when navigating a toxic workplace. But such posts are almost always based on a dangerous fallacy: That the human resources (HR) department has your best interests at heart. This is a lie. HR works for the company, and will always place the corporation’s interests first. If you’re an HR professional reading this, and this triggers you, I invite you to take a pause, let the activation settle, and calmly tell me in the comments why I’m wrong. I’m sincerely curious about what you have to say. If you offer a perspective that could better equip people to navigate a toxic workplace, I will consider sharing it in a future edition of Toxic Workplace Survival Guy.

How does your workplace operate

Here’s how to cure toxic workplace relationships.

These issues can be extremely difficult to handle for employees already suffering from anxiety.
