While some of us have outright toxic work environments, others don’t. On this subreddit we hear about people leaving toxic, low-paying jobs for higher paying jobs. Which is great! However, some of us find ourselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. We stay at low-paying jobs because we like our coworkers and the work environment is nice BUT are too scared of leaving our current job because we don’t want to end up with a high paying job that might have a toxic work environment. Of course, all situations are unique and everyone faces different hardships. But I just thought I’d give my two cents on why “get a higher paying job” isn’t always an easy decision, especially if you like your current coworkers.
