The narratives and justifications in toxic environments keep people there. They won't show the stayers squat. It may not even be all untrue, just twisted, forgetting all the good parts and dehumanizing, which is the objective.
Those who left are often oblivious its happening too.
- lazide 6y agoThat’s what I was talking about in part - They keep the people there who for whatever reason it works on (denial, fear, whatever), there are also those that connect with and think it’s a good environment. There are also those who don’t care and are using it to get experience and will bounce to a better place later. And there are also those that it helps to see someone succeed and get out. And those who seeing someone succeed is a threat to them, as it challenges all the other factors they’re in denial about. The only ones who ‘leaving’ hurts is the ones who are enabling the bad environment. For everyone else? It’s just another day. Don’t fall for the BS, you’ll be worse off for it later and regret it. But make sure you have a plan and a backup option. Rage quitting when you’ll be bankrupt in a week is dumb.
