The situation I was in was more than just toxic. I think down deep it was truly killing me. Too much pressure to get things done and too much blame. There has to be a limit on the amount of work one department can do. And when you're over that limit projects will not get done on time. Simple as that.
When I was first let go I was in shock. How do you go about doing everything that is asked of you and still get terminated? I took about a week for me to understand what had really happened. The truth is that being fired saved me when I couldn't save myself.
For someone who is considered a bully, the abuse they dish out is based on a distorted way of dealing with their own sense of low self-esteem. In large corporations you're bound to find someone with a narcissistic personality disorder. My only regret is that I couldn't save everyone else.
I've started to heal. And no I'm not healing from the pain of being let go, I am healing from living in a toxic environment for so long. Today I know that I am finally free from that pain.
