Work negativity

[PC7102]

I am returning to a job I have been in for 10 years following a blissful year of a secondment which I have loved (no option for carrying on in that role and have tried finding other jobs with no success). This job is quite a negative toxic place and used to really get to me and get me down.

Does anyone have any tips for how to go back and not let it get to me or be sucked into negativity again?

Thank you for any advice

Is there anything you can take from your secondment into your old role? What was it about the secondment that made it so much better - can any practices from that area be brought into your old role?

I think you can go back as almost a new starter, but with the benefit of knowing exactly who to avoid, who will drag you down and who you can just have a giggle with while you’re making tea. Tell yourself that you’re not going to listen to any negativity or get involved with anyone complaining about stuff. This is just a job, which keeps a roof over your head until the perfect job for you turns up. Be that little ray of sunshine that brightens up everyone’s day.
