 You wouldn't stay in a romantic relationship if red flags started appearing within days of pledging exclusivity. Nor would you keep being friends with someone if their toxic behaviour left you feeling miserable every time you spent a day in their company. So why is it that workers are conditioned to stay in jobs that are not only damaging their mental health and wellness, but not adding to or developing their experience and skill set? Fear of losing your income is the most obvious reason why so many people stay in jobs they hate but for a lot of employees, the longer they spend in a toxic workplace, the harder it is to leave for a myriad of reasons, including knocked confidence or not wanting to leave the nicer members of your team behind. This begs the question: is it ever okay to leave a job after a few months if all the telltale hallmarks of toxicity are there, or should you resign yourself to putting in a solid year for the sole purpose of your CV not looking patchy? For starters, it's important to know that starting a new job and instantly regretting it doesn't make you flaky or unambitious. In fact, a recent survey into the phenomenon found that 72% of job hoppers have experienced 'Shift Shock': the feeling of starting a new job and realising pretty quickly that it wasn't what you expected or were led to believe.
