I’ve encountered many different organisations that have the same issues. Similar to yourself, I’ve challenged myself not only to survive but to thrive in this type of environment.
What really help was reading about human psychology, chanting and generally discussing this with other folk who have been or are in similar environments. Buddhist philosophy has also aided me tremendously in seeing things from a different perspective far deeper than the surface. In general, though the environment may be toxic, fundamentally we are all human beings with different goals, motivations and aspirations.
Happy to discuss with if you’d like.
- goldenkey 8y agoI just watched the "Working with Weinstein" documentary yesterday. Many of these girls rationalized the sexual favors as "well I shouldn't be a prude.. Mind over matter." Yes, working in a toxic environment is possible and negative energy can be misdirected and deflected -- but ultimately, most people cannot do this. And we reinforce the environment, allowing it to thrive when it should be exterminated. I know the comparison is not direct in extremity, but the archetype of toxicity is there.. https://youtu.be/0GpZs_akcKk https://youtu.be/0GpZs_akcKk
- tixocloud 8y agoCertainly there are some instances where you should absolutely get out or even better, fight against the toxicity. It takes one person to stand up and be the voice and for the rest to follow.
