After several years in a job I did not love at an employer I did not love, I made a move at the beginning of the year. Though I certainly don't regret leaving my old job, I have found myself in an even worse situation than before, a fear-based workplace with toxic leadership.
At one point in my career, I was appreciated, respected, included, but now I can do nothing right. I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. Where I once felt confident in my achievements and was passionate about my work, I'm now left with mostly dissatisfaction and bitterness.
But today was exceptionally hard. A top executive told me my response was "garbage," and I was absolutely humiliated.
No surprise to my readers, I spend inordinate amounts of time reflecting on things I could have done differently, better. Do you know what I wish I had done? I wish I stood up, said thank you, and walked out. If a child can stand up to a bull, why the hell can't I?!
