There’s a harmful, lingering myth in the professional world that if you just “tough it out,” things will get better.
Staying in toxic environments proves that you have resilience, and quitting somehow means failure.
But staying somewhere that drains your energy, confidence, or mental health isn’t strength, it’s mere survival mode.
It is not about just feeling that you weren’t made to survive your job; it’s about being able to grow, thrive, and feel purposeful in your work.
