[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have also gone through this. My toxic boss shattered my confidence and the longer I stayed at that position, the worse things became. She also took away work from me and essentially pushed me out of the job until I quit. She also made the work environment increasingly uncomfortable. She was over-hiring and took away offices. Then we had to see clients in whatever room we could find that was available. Sometimes I'd be the one without a room to see someone in and had to see them in a break room or something. It felt so unprofessional.

I left 7 months ago and I still feel like I'm not fully myself yet. It is reassuring that others in this thread have stated that they are thriving now, but it took some people about the same amount of time to recover as the time they were in the position. I've been wondering why I STILL don't feel like myself yet. But I do stop thinking about working there a little less as time passes. And I think it will pass for you too. It's also reassuring that others in this thread state they are doing much better and thriving. [/quote]

It takes a while to get past the situation once you leave.  I even spoke with a counselor because the stress was so bad. I had been close to getting out and moving to a better job but Covid hit and the job was pulled, so I got stuck with the bad boss for another whole year. Dreadful experience, and she just got worse over the last several months. Several years later, I’ve moved on to a new employer and doubled my salary. It’s all now just an awful memory. I fought back though, so she did not walk away unscathed by her shitty behavior. [/quote]
