Let’s face it: some workplace cultures are just plain toxic.
On the worst days, even the most elite NYC office can feel like working in a swamp, surrounded by negative energy and drama. But don’t worry, you don’t have to feel stuck.
Here’s how to survive and thrive in a toxic workplace culture.
HOW TO SPOT A TOXIC WORKPLACE

Constant Drama: If there’s always a new crisis or conflict, it’s a red flag.

Negative Energy: A workplace filled with negativity can drain your energy.

COPING STRATEGIES
