| I survived a really nasty corporate takedown last year where my boss essentially tried to manage me out, ordered people to uninvite me to meetings, publicly attacked my professional career. It was tough. I took a smaller role within the same company but far away from that group. I still find myself stressed at the idea of interacting with that group, even if my former boss was kicked out at the end of 2025. I feel on the edge. Exhausted. There are nights when scenes from my previous experience with that team would play in loops again and again in my head. I do cognitive behavioral therapy, take vacations, picked up a hobby, but its so hard to shake off and I am just exhausted. Im considering changing companies but at the same time acknowledge that I am very well compensated, have a long tenure, I feel like if I leave Im letting them win. How the heck do people bounce back? |
