I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been an observer, seen family/friends deal with it, and/or been in leadership positions in a number of such organizations and they all have their own issues/dysfunction. Some were tolerable, others were not. Realizing you have a lot of (if not full) control over what you associate with (company, religious org, etc) and therefore what levels of malfunction you do/don’t have to deal with is freeing. Specially with companies, I’ve had to encourage a number of friends/ex-coworkers to start looking for a new job after hearing what they put up with. The imposter syndrome is strong and feeling like they couldn’t get a better job (pay and/or environment). It’s wonderful when they get a new job and realize how what they dealt with was not “normal” or “ok”.
