Most workplaces are built in ways that create confusion, tension, and quiet power games — especially for people who value honesty, fairness, and doing things right. If you've ever thought:
- “Is it me?”
- “Why does everything feel so political?”
- “Why do I feel drained all the time?”
- “Why does it seem like doing a good job isn’t enough?”
You may have spent months or years over-compensating for a system designed to slowly erode everything that makes you great. This guide helps you stop this endless cycle- and reclaim you full self.
Inside this 32-page guide, you'll learn:
- The structure of a typical workplace- and why work isn't about work
- The ecosystem of the toxic workplace and it works to sustain itself
- The different roles people play in sustaining the toxic workplace
- How and why people like you destabilize the toxic workplace ecosystem
- How to start thinking clearly about how you show up, and making your next moves
- The difference between healthy and toxic workplaces

This guide is for you if:
- You've experienced abuse, sabotage, distortion, and social abuse i the workplace

- At work, you feel you're being extracted from- but never poured into or developed
- You've been left confused, frustrated and emotionally drained from toxic workplaces
- You're looking for the "why" behind toxic workplace behaviors
This guide is NOT:
- a guide telling how to get back at bullies

- designed to give you false hope of "beating" toxic workplaces
- a guide that centers the bullies- it centers you, your experience and your options
It is simply a guide to orient you to the reality behind workplaces that no one talks about. I'm not here to give you information that will simply make you feel good- I'm here to share the truth which will give you everything you finally need to make decisions bets for your mental and emotional health.
