This is not meant to be a controversial post but it is my opinion on what I have been seeing in posts and some of the comments that are made. I would just like people to remember when someone is posting that you are hearing their side of the story. There is another whole side that you are not hearing and key facts could be left out.
I see so much about Toxic coworkers or bad bosses. I am not disagreeing they don’t exist because I have come across a few to. But we seem to forget what one may considers toxic another person may not. Sometimes it is easy to forget that bosses are human beings to. They have life problems, families and make mistakes also. The difference is they are responsible for their Department and have to answer to the big bosses for the mistakes and are responsible for all employees under them. They also have to be cautious on handling situations because of discrimination and privacy laws.
Things I have learned:
A job is a job . That’s it. Some are going to be a good fit and some will be a bad fit. If it is bad fit then learn from it and move on. Every employee is replaceable as every job is to.
There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries otherwise some people will take full advantage of you or continue the behavior you don’t care for because they don’t know to stop. Some will test your limits. People are people. You are not going to get along or like all the people you work for or with. Keep it professional and not personal. Don’t make your job your life. Take responsibility for your actions and own up to them.
I know it sucks looking for a job or leaving one and the grass is not always greener on the other side. Believe and trust in yourself that no matter what you will make it through. Life is ever changing.
