Career Q&A: should I still give notice if I leave a job because of a toxic workplace?
My answer is YES.
Don’t let a toxic workplace dictate how you carry yourself. Handle professional situations with grace no matter what. For these reasons:
Toxic work environments permeate the ecosystem of a business. It shows in how the company treats employees, through interactions with customers, even how they pay their bills.
So the job didn’t turn out to be what you thought it was. You wound up working for a manager that shouldn’t have been a manager. It happens, it’s OK.
The takeaways:
You have to develop the ability to work with people you don’t like. That’s a deeper conversation.
What if an interviewer asks you why you’re leaving your job? Would you say it’s because of a toxic workplace or something else? We'll talk about that on another episode.
