The first thing I see when I walk in the office is my boss and his pet employee chatting quietly outside his office. Neither one says hello to me. This asshole thinks he's a "visionary leader." And that's just ********. I haven't seen him do one "visionary" thing yet. And I have worked for truly visionary people in their fields. Sorry if that sounds condescending, but I have worked at some world-renowned institutions for people with a lot more charisma and innovation than this dork.
I wonder if I can just sit in my office and avoid him until I get a new job. I hate doing that. I'm a leader and a go-getter. It's against my better nature. But right now, this toxicity just consumes me. It sets off my PTSD, and...I don't know. Someone suggested last night that maybe I need to go back on disability. Maybe I do. Maybe it's just me and not being able to handle the work place. Except that i know it's not me. There is so much gaslighting going on, it's ridiculous. I know it's not me because I've heard NUMEROUS complaints from others (because I'm management they confide and vent to me). I cannot get out fast enough. What do I do? How do I make it through the work day? I cannot commit to putting in more than 40 hours a week here any longer when I get treated like ****. I just can't. Seesaw

I have been in a similar situation recently where I was facing a boss that I really cant deal with anymore. I got my butt in gear and found not just another job but the beginning of a career path that I will be starting soon. I say you do what makes you happy. Maybe take classes and get into something that you will love. Good luck to you

I work in a challenging environment. I have found the easiest way for me to get through the day is "plug in". I listen to music nearly all day. I've found out after the fact that two co-workers were arguing about something and it got everyone else keyed up. Not me, I'm in my own little world, working away, oblivious.
I tell people that music helps to keep me focused, and to some extent it does, but what it really does is drown out the voices that I don't want to hear.

Yeah, I'm trying to just keep my head down while I look for another job, but there's so much drama going on in the office and because of my position I'm forced to deal with a lot of it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
