Hi Greenshade!
It has been a pleasure speaking with you!
Awh, thanks! No, it has been more like my personal agenda than an organizational priority. I think I could still collaborate with my future colleagues in the future though to work on this if I were to leave things on a good enough note.
If it is up to you, I am confident that you would manage to leave on a good note. This idea of collaborating with colleagues to continue to achieve your personal goals sounds like a good plan.
“Yes, I do communicate this stuff. They still get angry. Yes, thank you for the reminder!”
It’s unfortunate that your manager doesn’t have better control over their behaviour. I’m sorry that you have to deal with their emotional outbursts. This definitely sounds like a stressful work environment. Well done for coping with the stress for so long! But you do deserve better.
I have been in a similar situation myself and honestly, I was relieved to finally walk away from that environment. I have been very lucky because the environment in my most recent job has been entirely different. It’s a breath of fresh air when coworkers are professional, kind and supportive.
Oh, I don’t know if this will be helpful, but how I managed my anxiety at the poor work environment was by understanding that these people are behaving in this way not because of me or anyone else. But because of poor coping mechanisms. They do not have healthy skill sets that allow them to cope with stressors.
I have a couple of questions. Before the more recent role you worked there in a previous role. How was your anxiety then? How did you cope then?
