I work at a hospital doing a very specialized job.
Let’s say I’m a radiation therapist. There’s only 1 employer in the city. It’s a small dept and I worked with the same 6 people for the past 6 years. Half of them are controlling and condescending. If i had to fart my boss would want me to ask for permission first. work culture is toxic. Two very kind coworkers/friends have left :(. No support from the union or management. I stayed because the pay is good and I like my job. Also there is no other job available for my specific specialized skills. I’m not willing to move because I have a family and a house here.
I have emotional support and been working with a professional to help deal with anxiety/learn to cope with stress.
I feel torn between staying or leaving because some weeks feel very hard. I like my job and providing for my family. However my spirit is just down sometimes because of work. Does anyone have any advice?
