What's the best thing you did after leaving a toxic workplace?

During peak Covid, I took a part time job since I was out of work. It was fully remote of course but it turned out to be horrible. I worked for more than 12 hours a day and I didn't even have a day off. It wasn't a part time job, it was a full time role with a part time pay. It was toxic. My manager was toxic and the clients were unruly at times (unsurprisingly). After 3 months, I resigned. And the following week post my last day, I just ate, slept and read a fantasy novel from one my of favourite authors. It was one of the best weeks I've ever had.

That sounds like an awful experience! No wonder you needed a recharge week after that.

Are you still looking for work, or are you taking some more time for yourself?

For me, after I left my last toxic workplace, the first thing I did was a total tech detox. Phone on silent, computer shut down. I spent a glorious weekend camping with zero connection. Fresh air, campfires, and NO emails It was pure bliss!
