Have outlets outside work for socializing and reducing stress. Talk to a coach, therapist, or other trained professional. Get plenty of exercise and sleep. Taking care of your physical and mental well-being is essential. If feasible, take a temporary break from work. Find activities outside of work that bring you joy and satisfaction. Consider mindfulness and relaxation practices such as yoga and meditation. Practice positive self-talk by reminding yourself that you are not the problem.
Explore other opportunities within your organization. There might be ways to escape your toxic boss without having to leave your company.
Look into other positions in the company that interest you, meet with colleagues and managers in other departments, think about where your skills might translate, and make a case for your transition.
Consider consulting with HR. Of course, be ready to accept that quitting could be the best solution. You must give yourself permission to make a career change — to let go of hope that things will get better, and to overcome the fear of quitting. While it might be tempting to go out in a blaze of anger and curse words, this rarely works out well in the long run.
Here are a few tips:. Line up your next move. There is no magic bullet here: you just need start the job search. Give proper notice: The standard for most industries is two weeks. Giving more time is always an option but try not to give less if you can help it. Write a proper resignation letter and tell your supervisor — in person — that you are leaving.
Make sure your letter is professional. Create a transition timeline. Don't get into an emotional interchange with your boss. Although tensions may rise, keep yourself in check and remain professional.
By quitting, you've already gotten your revenge. Your boss will have to find someone to fill your position, train the new hire and wait for him to overcome any learning curve before being truly productive.
You've already got the boss where it hurts. Keep your resignation letter short and to the point and provide the effective date of your resignation. Don't send it by email. Go to the appropriate staff member in person and hand him the letter while you state you are resigning. Be aware that once you give your resignation, it's possible you may be immediately asked to clean out your desk before you're escorted to the door.
Be sure you have already collected the things you really need the week before you resign, such as email addresses; business cards of clients, coworkers or supervisors; information you may need regarding projects you've worked on, etc. Once you've left the premises, consider all of this information inaccessible.
If your job was truly a horrifying experience, it can be hard to let it go. But bringing your old baggage to a new job is a surefire way to start building an unflattering reputation. Your new boss and coworkers don't want to hear complaints about your old job, no matter how justified you feel they are.
