Mind Over Matter

I'm currently going through a particularly hard time in my life. I don't hate my job, but I don't love it either. It wouldn't be so bad if I worked with people that I liked. My colleagues are two-faced to me, appearing friendly but bad mouth me to my boss. I just want to quit, because this environment is really stressing me out, but I don't want them to get this upper hand over me. What should I do?

I have been in toxic

I have been in toxic environments (work) that sound much like what you are experiencing. First, it is work - always act professionally no matter what your duties are. You are not there to make friends you are there to do the best job you can. Toxic environements are difficult to change, is that your task? Do the best you can, in the meantime, look for a place where you can enjoy, if not thrive, while you work.

Don't Worry

Don't act like a victim and they won't victimize you. Bullies and phonies hate it when people either ignore them or stand up to them in any way. Get the book 'The Four Agreements' and you'll know what to do. Good luck

Avoid thinking of others as having more power than yourself. They don't.
