It can be difficult to navigate a toxic work environment. Here are some tips to help:
1. Stay focused on your job and goals. It is important to remember why you are in the workplace and focus on doing your own work to the best of your ability.
2. Avoid getting pulled into conflicts and drama. If you are aware of any drama or negative energy going on, try your best to stay away from it.
3. Communicate clearly. It is important to maintain open and honest communication with everyone in the workplace to help foster trust and respect.
4. Practice self-care. Stress impacts us all differently, so it is important to find activities that help reduce stress such as meditation, exercise, and/or spending time with friends and loved ones.
5. Seek help if necessary. If you are feeling overwhelmed or unsupported, reach out for help from colleagues, HR, or an external source.
