Our workplace is toxic and it's wearing us down — now what?

You did not imagine this. A place can be genuinely bad, and it can wear down more than one person at once. That much is true, and there is no use pretending otherwise to yourself or to each other. But notice where your attention has gone. Much of it sits on what others do, what the place is, what should be different. None of that is yours to command. What is yours: how you speak of it, what you write down, what you tolerate today, when you decide enough is enough. Move your attention there, together, or you will spend your strength on the wrong target. If the weight of this has become heavy — if it follows you home, disturbs your sleep, or feels larger than a work problem — say that plainly to someone outside the team: a doctor, a counselor, someone trained for it. This page will help you act. It will not carry that weight for you.
