It is easier to leave a toxic workplace than recover from damage!
My friend has joined a company, she has been there two months for now. Her KPI? A 1 million dollar deal within 3 months. Yes, you hear me right! Is it realistic? I don't think so — in the economy that is crushing.
She needed the job, she accepted the terms hoping she will make it. And you know what? It's been two months and she is close to signing a nearly 1 million deal and has found an investor who is willing to save the current company and invest 20 million dollars.
In my opinion, it's a great success, but her manager thinks it's not enough — the money is not in the account yet thus her progress isn’t valid. She has one more month to prove herself.
Being relatively new in her job, she lacked allies to give her perspective at the marketing company she had joined. Feeling wretched and alone, she contacted psychological coaching to try to find a way to deal with her situation.
Like her, many people struggle to find the clarity and confidence required to extract themselves from abusive circumstances at work. Instead, they tend to think, “What have I done wrong?”
In a highly volatile situation, it is all too easy to overestimate your part in what has happened…
