Episode 86

What do you do if you’re in a toxic working relationship?

In this episode of Big Questions, Short Answers, we talk about the relationships with our colleagues that leave us feeling drained and defeated. When we hear about toxic relationships it’s usually in relation to romantic or familial relationships, but workplace relationships can definitely be toxic too. 

It might be harder to spot a toxic working relationship because you’re kind of forced to keep working with that person; it’s just part of the job. To help me identify why I was feeling so drained about work lately, I kept a running list for one month and noted which situations/people were causing me the most stress. Once I had that data, I was able to form a plan to help all of us get to a better place. 

At the end of the episode, I share the three steps I took to get out of the toxic working relationship. Make sure you tune in for the bonus tip that I didn’t use but would encourage others to try if they found themselves in this situation.
