This was a much needed read after a stressful day. I'm in a position where I have much flexibility (substitute teacher) but I've noticed toxic environments many times. It is a stressful field.

Wow - this article describes my job in healthcare. I look at new grads and think...you've got years ahead in this profession. Best advice: plan well so you can choose to leave early.

I needed to read this today. I just resigned from a toxic work environment. The negativity and lack of teamwork ate at my very sole. I am starting a new position on Thursdays yet, was still carrying guilt for leaving such an environment. I am a positive person and the environment that I just left consumed my life. I am glad I was able to recognize the negativity and move on before it was to late.

A toxic work environment isn't an "opportunity for growth." Report
