Coffee break with Emma

Hey, community!

It’s Coffee Talk Time! Each Friday we invite YOU to share recent personal and/or professional milestones – big or small! Adopted a puppy? Get a promotion? Change roles? Host a webinar? Write a book? Have a baby or get married? Move to a new place? Share! (Bonus points for pictures!)

I’m going first:

I’m passionate about marketing, so I’ve decided to host my first-ever marketing event in two weeks.
Excited and scared! :grin:

It’s your turn now. :arrow_down:

I got out of a toxic work environment and ended up getting a (small) pay rise. The new company is also going to pay for me to do my AATs so I can make this cash money.

That’s fantastic news! What advice would you give to others in toxic work environments? :eyes: :smiling_face:

Thank you!

It depends really.

  • Definitely don’t quit without a plan.

  • Find the root cause of the problem.

  • See if things can change at your current workplace

  • Keep applying but don’t get desperate as you may end up in the same position.

  • Don’t do anything that could land you in trouble or make yourself look bad. Stay professional.

  • Speak to people.

  • Find things outside of work that will keep you sane in the meantime.

  • Become rich so you don’t have to work.

ok, I definitely love all of them, but the last one is my favourite!! :eyes: :purple_heart:
