I (24) male need advice with a toxic work environment.

I recently started a new job about 2 months ago. It's an office job, very typical 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. My coworkers except a few are horrendous, they say the most vile racist things to members of staff in different departments, they all talk smack about members in our department when they are absent. As well as this the workload is beyond unmanageable to complete, it's also minimum wage. I can't stress enough how much I despise this new role. The advice I need is, should I jump ship? They're already very understaffed and my workload would be distributed to two members of staff who are actually very nice.

I recently started a new job about 2 months ago. It's an office job, very typical 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

My coworkers except a few are horrendous, they say the most vile racist things to members of staff in different departments, they all talk smack about members in our department when they are absent.

As well as this the workload is beyond unmanageable to complete, it's also minimum wage. I can't stress enough how much I despise this new role.

The advice I need is, should I jump ship? They're already very understaffed and my workload would be distributed to two members of staff who are actually very nice. There is no way I could possibly speak to HR either as it would forever be awkward inside the office and the constant bitchyness would only get worse.

The other day I stepped outside to have a cigarette and the smoking area is pretty close to our office and I overheard them talking absolutel shit.

My problem is that If I hand in my 2 week notice it would be the most awkward 2 weeks going, I know the vast majority of them would be horrendously toxic towards me. Should I just find a new job and bail? I've never been one for confrontation as well as I've always tried to be as professional as possible.

What should you do?
