After years of being in a toxic work environment I finally gave my two weeks notice today. My boss is a Malignant Narcissist who is taken advantage of me for years, and I let it happen for a long time wanting to be the best employee I could be. At the cost of my mental health, having a good work/life balance, and so much more I finally decided enough was enough.
I fortunately have an amazing family and friend support group, so I know even if I fall on some hard times while I job hunt (I couldn’t successfully job hunt while working as I wasn’t allowed time off to go to interviews m-f) I will be okay.
So, for anyone else who feels stuck in a job and feels like there is no end to the cycle- you can break out. Don’t let the anxiety of failure break your spirit or will to go on. Advocate for yourself.
