I was so desperate to get out that I took a massive pay cut to leave a toxic work culture.

At my new job I've been getting small raises each year. After moving to a leadership role I knew I was underpaid. I got a 6k raise and was satisfied until I found out that my peers were still making 13-15k more than me. I talked to the CEO who told me I was on par but to go to my manager if needed. I gathered a lot of data proving my case and got a 20k raise. It was scary but I'm so happy I did it.
